Lost
Breath caught in my chest
Can't see can't breathe
All I can feel is you
All I can see is you
Falling to a place
Where dreams erase
Blurred days
Sorrowful nights
Waiting for you
Emptiness fills my heart
Waiting for something
Something I'll never find
I'm awakened by the silence
Fighting for life
Fighting a battle I can't win
I've lost you
I've lost to you
You're gone and all I feel
Is the emptiness
The loss of life
The loss of love
My heart hurts
I mourn what once was
What cannot be again
I hold my hand to your heart
Feel it melt away
I'll see you in my dreams
Follow you in my heart
Hold you with my memories
And sigh your name into the dark
