Soulless

This new despair I hold
Spreads ever blacker feelings
No; not the pains of old
This drains my very being
So used to sadness now
It seems there'd be no difference
For even though I'm always down
This feels more like a sickness
No words to share this hurt
No songs to vent it's fury
So alone in my own world
While those who love me lay in worry
Because my empathic gift
The one that made me special
Now in dire defeat has left
And I'm an empty vessel
This detachment not the way for me
I should be driven by my passions
My soul has always soared so free
But now that soul is ashes
Though the world owes me nothing
I beg whatever forces there may be
End this numbness light the black
And let my pains return to me
