Emptiness

When the darkness comes

I must wait it out alone

For the road that I’ve chosen

Is one that no one will follow

It is a darkness filled with silence

Unbroken for what seems like eternity

It is a night that never breaks

Awaiting a dawn that may never come

I have no strength for this road

And the ones that I depend on dare not follow

Any screams I shall make

Will be swallowed up and heard by no one

For the darkness is truly vast Here all joy is sucked out

And replaced with grief

Companionship is removed

And the world is filled with loneliness
