A grief observed

You staring at the emptiness
My skin is pale
You hear the sacred silence
My fears are awake

Now that the night has gone
Now there’s no turning back
Now i can see all my dreams
Turning into dust

Tears filled your eyes
I cry for my end
So..the end is near
Farewell to all

Now that the night has gone
Now there’s no turning back
Now i can see all my dreams
Turning into dust

You left me alone
In my mourning silence
Come back to me my beloved
Why you left me?

Now that you are gone
My life seems so emty
I’m drowing
Into the oblivion

Now that i’m gone
I hope not to
Be forgoten
I’m flying

Fear pain misery
Dreams of sorrow
Haunted my sleep
And left me hollow

Tears,lost memories
Dreams of past




Haunted my soul
Haunted my heart
