Lost

I always thought that it was pain...
                                                 It never was, it was the emptiness
                                                        devouring me into its depths of solitude
                         pulling at me till I felt nothing more

        I never thought it would be this way
                         I never wanted this

                                                        Yet, it caught me at the
                                                                                       edge of despair

              Where nothing was considered to be important

  My life was drowning in the misery of the dead
                                    sulking in the ashes of dust and lost tranquility

      Happiness or joy never came by
                                                   Just sat and looked down on me with
                               the greatest compassion

 I wanted to caress it, hold it deep within my soul
            Still I was no where in reach
 

                                                             I tried to grab it...until the hands

                                                  of emptiness drugged me back
                          down into its watering hole of whispers

Dark whispers which will always haunt me

                                      I pray for my soul...that one day 
                                                          in time

                                        Tranquility will grasp me again
