I LOST WHAT I HELD SO DEAR

I lose what I held so dear
Yet, it was always near
Now, all that is left deep within
are the fears -
that lasted out all these years.

When love had left me in tears
every ear hared me cry
this I could never lie,
You left me broken
I felt so used up- like some token
that has been tossed into the sea.

Oh, you let me sink so very deep
You loved so much to hear me weep,
I wanted so much to tell you how I feel
But you kept my soul on Ill.

I wanted so badly to talk.
But all I do now is walking around
like the living dead-
ready to lose my head.

I was once very nourished and loved,
but all that has been taken away-
Oh, how I can remember that old town
that always seems to bring me down.

I know I'm just a lost soul -
where nothing seems to matter anymore.
I watched empty souls lead the dead
to fight a battle they will never win
when it comes to the End.

We're is dead?
That leads without any power.
But, what is funny!
No one really has any power.
