Into the dark and damp abyss 
Of what my love’s become 
True my heart’s so cavernous 
And yes my body’s numb 
To languish weekly with no words 
For nothingness does choke 
The very breath my chest defers 
Choosing now the smoke 
Rather would my soul just die 
Then linger in this hell 
Where the blood has run so dry 
And hopelessness does dwell 
Death at least will grant release 
Free my aching heart 
From the shackles of deceit 
For life had promised art 
And painted on this canvas strong 
Thick with hues of grey 
Isn’t beauty but a song 
Of desperate dismay
