Loss

Screaming I entered
Groaning I'll leave
Oh loss
Oh brokenness
Oh emptiness
Oh loss
 
This cavernous void
This echoing silence
This consuming death
This life
 
Oh loss
Oh loss
Oh
 
Loathsome life
Fearsome wails
Abject darkness
Perfect despair
 
Oh loss
Oh loss
Oh
 
This barren soul
This empty heart
This voided spirit
This hollow field
 
Oh my life
Oh this desolation
Such empty loss
 
Sighs escape my lips
Groans return
Darkness, my abode
Emptiness, my feast
 
Oh death
Oh companion
Oh my life
Oh loss
 
This pitiful veneer
This hollow facade
This edifice of gloom
Lost, empty, bankrupt
 
Screaming I entered
Mute I'll leave
Broken
Empty
Loss
