My love is lost, I no longer thirst,
Once flowing blood, now just an icicle
Rendered moot, when my heart burst
As I lay and rot, while I recycle
I have lost, watched my future disappear
I am nothing, no warm place left to be
All things missing, it’s just me and fear
Black empty stillness, the only thing I see,
My sun gone forever, only darkness⁹ now
My name, now shadows, of distant memories
Long I have laid, but still in pain somehow
Feeling bitter loss, my eternal destiny.
