Drawn

The feeling in my soul is gone. And I am here a man withdrawn.
Echoes of vain, of a lonely past. A desolate soul of a shadow's cast.
The light I had is now withdrawn. And here I stay, a useless pawn.
Look at me, my lonely stare. Blood flows in veins, as pain through my cares.
Feelings are changing, passing in time. A feeling once had, this feeling of mine.
I lost all feeling, I'm freezing to numb. Passing each day, no movement of tongue.
the pain I feel, will not last long. For I am waiting, an endless yawn.
A shadow moving amongst my soul. It glanced awhile, but never stole.
I think of me, a lonely stare. I see it stopping framed in air.
The heart I had has since been torn. And I am left, a man, reborn.
I know I can't, but still I try. To watch the fire passing by.
I know I am, but won't deny. Inflamed, the soul, will never die.
The place I am, I don't belong. And here I give a faceless dawn.
Take my feeling, and let it rest. And save it only for the best.
The feeling in my soul is gone. But soon again it will be drawn.
