Beating heart,
Ticking away the moments of life,
Ticking time bomb
Fighting to stay alive.
Dying on the inside,
Darkness closing in,
Wrapping protective wings
Around soul and mind.
Love is love,
And what is that,
Sometimes wondering
If love falls flat.
Words we speak,
Words we say,
What does it all mean
At the end of the day.
Can they pierce
These inner walls
Can they break
Through the darkness call.
Walls so deep,
Darkness so sound
None can fathom
I can't be found.
Lost forever to the darkened walls.
