Emptiness Brushes My Soul Love has once again betrayed me and The stars came crashing from the sky shattered And another piece of my lonely heart is cast amongst the ashes Crumpled and decaying in the cold dust Moments of Love between eons of stillness My shadow stalked by lonely madness Crying emptiness brushes my soul and Uncontrollable longings scream from deep within my spirit Chill dawn winds eddy around me like gray soulless wolfs A deadly silence fills my empty dreams Stalking about the room like shadows chased from the fire A touch on my arm draws me out of my restlessness Fragments of promising eyes drift lovingly across my soul And a crystal glitter of stars flung across a darkened sky Igniting my passions again My hunger unyielding I must eternally dance Love's cruel game
