This Void of Mine

I feel lost in this void I have created over time
A place that only my regrets and sorrows seem to be
There's no room for love or passion or joy
Just an empty box, filled my with mistakes and me

I can tell you exactly where it all began
Where the void first took hold of my heart
It was foreshadowed in our dreams
A sword, tearing our young love apart

For so long have I lived hiding in this void
Slowly succumbing to the calcification of time
So long have I dreamt of the life we missed
That this void has now become a comfort of mine

It protects me from ever loving so deeply again
Hides the depths of my heart in the key you now hold
Provides a shield against the pain of my actions
A love story, I forced to never unfold
