Emptiness, envelop me
Like a cloak in deepest night.
Emptiness, come to me
Like a dark lover's secret embrace.
Emptiness, cover me
Like a funeral shroud
For within this breast lies life no more.
Emptiness, hold me
And take this pain away.
Whisk it off like old linens on a dusty bed.
Tear it away like a timid maidenhead.
Rip it away as my heart lies torn.
Oh, emptiness,
Take me within your abyss
And leave me there
Forever to drown.
