Hollowed (From Within)

Each day stings a little less

But pain of my misdeeds remain

Alone to my thoughts I restand hope for myself reclaim

All that has been brokenyour heart I regret the most

For I, the fool disguised

In your noble man's clothes.

And as I burn your name in my heart

Forever I will be hollowed from within

This my atonement for thee to take

My heart I give for thee to break.

So take it away from me, for I tire of its strain

Each breath taken is but a mocking of the pain

Although the sun again will rise

And the stars continue to shine

Slowly I find myself becoming hollowed out each time.

This the time of penitence

My ships set sail to thee

Will you make your waters calm

For I again may see

The love in your eyes

And the morning light

As dawn breaks upon your hair

And stars dance in your eyes at night.

As I stand at the edge, I watch the storm at sea

Alone with my own regret of what can never be

So I sleep one last time with a dream of you and I

For when the morning arrives

This hollowed heart will strive.
