Dark clouds hover low World feels so cold My heart aches bitterly Silent cries untold Lost dreams buried deep Whispers haunt my sleep Shadows dance relentless Soul’s endless weep Where did the light go Storms rage inside Battered by sorrow Nowhere to hide Ghosts of love linger Memories like scars Pain lingers Growing Underneath the stars Stars once bright faded In the mist I'm jaded Hope's a distant past Falling into shadows vast Eyes plead for silence Winds carry my guilt Broken Torn Relentless Life’s bitter quilt
