--------------------------------------

Alone in the darkness
Seeking the moment
of final release
I sit here, trembling

Wolves howl in the night
My name upon their
whispered words
I can't escape the fate

Broken and shattered
Insignificant and battered
I've been left
wallowing in destitution

Pain grips my soul
The memory of you
the one image I see
of what I can't have.

Hollowed cries
injustice and pain
I can't continue alone
Why did you leave me?

Lies and disillusion.
Pain and lamination
These things you left me
I still have no answers

Why won't you return?
What have I done?
Wasn't I your only one?
Wasn't I good enough?

Suffering my own wounds
The cuts to my own heart
How deep they run.
All because you went away

I can't live
I can't breathe
I can't continue on
If you're not with me

I still falter to
the remembrances
of you and I
And I can't forget
all the love we shared.

Soft touches
And velvet kisses
All these I envision
As I reach the final destination

Breaking like glass
I've fallen apart
Yanked from at the seems
Fading away into the abyss

I now realize
I can't continue on
If you're not by my side
If you're not there to guide me

One final cut
Will destroy the flame
And my candle
Will finally go out

But something stops me
And I ask why?
No answers come forth
Only a silent plea

Is that you?
Are you calling my name?
Do you want me to stay?
Am I worth it to you?

From the grips of hell
I seem to arise
Spreading my wings
And taking to the skies

I will wait now
For however long it takes
For that one moment in time
When you embrace me again

Don't forget me
Come back to my side
Revitalize my hope
That we will be one again
