Emotions betrayed by the look in your eyes
A sharp, empty coldness that holds no surprise
 Completely void of warmth or of feeling
A chill in the soul with no chance of healing..

Where do the thoughts of a wounded heart lead?
To a dangerous place, and an unfulfilled need.
 A silent darkness that compares to the grave
companion to lost souls we're unable to save.

A moment of light in the shadows is lost,
 the longer it's held, the greater the cost..

A timeless lesson to put us in place,
but one that is rarely learned with grace.

To rise and to fall, to live and to die,
the last breath of air let out with a sigh.
A betrayal of hope, a moment of peace
Not given up after the final release.

In the end, not a question of pain or strife,
but of who will learn the lessons of life.
