The hollow voices br Play inside my head. br Echoes of imaginary being, br Empty: devoid of life or warmth. br Only I am awake; br Only I feel. br Alone inside this world, br A box of old memories br Alone without a hope, br But only that I may find br Another soul. br The black and white images br Are now inside my mind. br Dreams of a darker reality, br Perishing with their past. br Only I breathe: br Only in my eyes br Is there any color. br Alone without a heart, br But only that aches for need of br Another soul. br My life, br My existence, br Freezes in the hopeless dark; br My life, br My existence, br Meaningless without the joy of br Another soul.
