Empty Places

Empty places that once were full

Are now my prison walls

The silence seems to mock my pain

As the voice of loneliness calls

The valleys now I wander quiet

The mountains, all laid low

No way to climb, to be raised up

My heart, no place to go

Broken into a million pieces

Shattered, beyond repair

My journey ends in desolation

No one to meet me there

I hide my eyes to calm my fears

But the screams don't go unheard

Goodbye, is written inside my heart

A hollow and lonely word

A place like this is not quite hell

But it's as close as you can get

Reminded of the day you died

A day I can't forget
