Emptiness

World's frozen, heart's gone cold,
Empty smiles, nothing to hold;
Loneliness lingered through the night,
As she held herself so tight.

Love filled her life with colors,
Stole her heart, went away;
Her own pride betrayed her,
All colors' gone but gray.

No tears left to cry,
Feelings all gone dry
But pain: no one to blame,
It's all part of the game.

Looking at her footprints from the past,
If she goes back, follows the trail
Returns to the very person that she was
Will hurt be gone as well?

Sinking deep into nothingness,
Wriggling to break free;
Trying to fight the emptiness,
Oh God, help me!
