Alone in this world
Searching for something not to be found
Coming close, but yet so far
Within inches it lays
Reaching out to grasp
Coming away with empty air
Love once was near
But with each passing of the sun
Further and further it slides
Away from touch or feel
Emptiness in this world
Is all that stands before
The meek and lonely
Shall perish without a trace
Emptiness is all that is known
No love allowed by those whom we trust
No love allowed by whom we know
Emptiness is all around
This soul departed
Not to be missed
Along the cliff's edge
Teetering on the edge
Plumeting far below
To the raging surf
To disappear without a trace
This emptiness shall fullfill
This longing shall cease
This light of life no more
