No heart without you

Since you walked away my heart knows nothing,

but this agony burning my life away.

In your hands my beating blood reigns,

over this death I taste without you.

I cannot feel what you stole from me,

no painful tears left to endure.

The light that was in my eyes forsaken,

dwindling down this path of despair.

You forgot me in the distant shadows,

where no heart can manage to beat.

Blood fills my eyes crying lost my soul,

unaware of what I am until now I stand alone.

Knife in my chest no heart to be revealed,

resting in your hands where I lost everything.

The look in your eyes haunting my every breath,

falling to what I have become to see as love.

Break me I asked you and breaking me you did,

leaving the taste so fresh on my lips.

No path to come to as life curses me,

I cannot die for you killed me as you stole my heart.

In the hands of loss you cradle my soul’s flame,

taking me from the only feeling I wanted to know.

Love is pain, life is death, hope is lost,

nothing to die for, no way I can live.
