To Welcome the Grey

And all is grey
Unto this emptiness I now remain

This world is left barren to me
My heart devoid of all feeling
This life is now empty to me
My soul yearns for decease
I am broken, I am lost
My existence denied, to forever suffer this loss

Vanquished into the void are my dreams
A life once complete lies veiled in screams
Tattered in ruins, searching for release
Beneath these enveloping blackened wings, my worth doth cease

I cannot endure this increasing pain
I try to visualize but the memories diminish and fade
All I want is to see your soft face
The touch of your delicate skin, the warmth of a loving embrace

Reviewing surroundings
Bleak and devoid of life
Cursed to endlessly walk alone
Not even your shadow as a guide
Within these surroundings
The grey is welcomed unto me
I am wandering without purpose

With all the simple things
That I cherish and miss
The laughter of innocents no longer resound
Or the joy of a kiss
For these simple things
That hath been stolen from me
The patter of footsteps that livened the walls
Now silenced and empty

I miss them all
With all of heavy heart
I cannot bear this endless winter
That must be endured apart
With the passing of time
Grasping at fleeting memory
A grieving that constantly aches
All the time I am breathing

These wounds
Will never heal
Unto this everlasting void
I am forced in despair to kneel
The solitude
And desperation resound
An everlasting burden
Unto this sorrow I am drowned

And all is grey
Within this emptiness, I quietly pass away
