Empty Shell of a Heart

Somewhere we stand

alone with memories

and dreams

drifting to an unknown place

Where are we

lost out at sea

in the middle

of oceans of nothingness

Our screams go unheard

our tears fall without a sound

where pain is swallowed up

by vast voids

and oceans of numbness

There is nothing

our hearts sit empty

waiting for light

Come be my lighthouse

fill this empty soul

with light and love

guide me away

safely

Show me how to return to shore

to find solid ground

to feel the pain

the hope

the joy

with you

Help my empty shell of a heart

become something more

be my lighthouse

fill me with light

bring me back
