Faces of Loneliness

It eats through your soul
A vulture that devours its way through
A tongue that melts into the emptiness
Brings its only companion to you

A lifeless heartbeat
Hysterically throbs through silence
It weeps, it bawls, it roars
Its hunger resorts to violence

Bleeding with fury into the echo
With wrath it slowly claws in
It breeds into the vacuum
Provocation that leads to sin

These baneful parasites
Nurture and feed with iniquity
Conflicting perceptions, antagonistic senses
Such submissive familiarity

A dynamic, invisible seed
Flourishes into hostile vice
Promises of love, hopes of life
What illusions does it entice?

Blissful hallucinations
Mirages of twittering serenades
Time, then the vision eludes you
And into solitary it fades

With empty breezes
Do the winds pine and yearn
Quivering fires that dwindle
But remain do the scars that still burn

It eats through your soul
A vulture that devours its way through
A tongue that melts into the emptiness
It's over, there's nothing left to do
