"Empty Hills"

These empty, echoing hills reflect
The screams that issue forth
My eyes closed tight against the tears
Of loneliness and remorse
Where night once held a place for us
Solitude lays endless ahead
My only company your memories
That will haunt me until I'm dead

Your name etched on my shattered heart
Even though you are long gone
Wondering ever more each day
What is the point to carry on?
The night sky stretched like desolate canvas
Over the shell of this broken being
Drawing breath and still alive
But forever without any meaning
