Inside My Emptiness

Walking through a desert of dead emotions

Glancing to the left and to the right

Nothing's visible except desolation

Shining bones indicate what has been

Devoid of any human feeling

Nothing proves if I'm still alive or already dead

Like a frozen lake, neither hills nor dales

Monotony is all I experience

In my mental solitude I ignore any help

All of a sudden my soul was slightly touched

Unexpected as I was I withdrew - for a moment

But curiosity couldn't be ignored

This little light came into my dull life

Somebody had broken my internal isolation

An isolation which came too slowly to be realized

Inside my emptiness

A shocking stream of pain penetrated me

Brutal and merciless the truth, obviously

Inside my emptiness

Squirming like a worm, blasting like a storm

But at the end

Gratefulness is what I know feel

You are responsible - can you see

My life has changed - no more fear

No more fear

This little light grew and with it my emotions

I couldn't avoid, I wouldn't avoid

Like a mirror it has shown me my inner self

A view that went deep - beneath my skin

I was touched to tears - impossible

My isolated and protected soul - torn apart
