How can love turn worlds upside down?
my heart aches with ebony tears...
love buried deep into a dark, cold necropolis
once lit with bright warmth...gone
Inch by inch I'm sinking deeper entombed;
a dark shadow fills my soul
leaving me in a catatonic and vacuous state;
tenebrious thoughts take over my mind
You've once held my heart in your hand
as I had yours and yet..still you're gone;
I'm left with an ashen spirit of loneliness evermore
