Smile Empty Soul

Smile...
As the pain that encases your heart
comes crashing down
Upon the whisper of your breath
a lonely sound
Don't let the actions of your tears
be witnessed by the moon
Deceive the great pretenders
by the night's melodic tune.

Empty...
Is it just a feeling that has
wrapped you up inside
Has stripped you of all hope in dreams
and left you paralyzed
The thumping of a heartbeat
crawls up to plague your mind
Taking all you had to give
leaving shallow hurt behind

Soul...
The loss comes too quick among
the shadows of the night
An empty vessel filled with tears
lies crushed against the fight
No hunger pangs for love is left
inside a heart that cried
Just shattered pieces of the soul
that shriveled up and died.
