The emptiness approaches   winding down the path   knows the direction   it has been here before      I can feel it lay down to slumber   This time it will stay a while   Not even a straw of hope is spared   for me to cling to      I have searched   through endless nights   with the bare moon   as my guiding light   to find someone   of my own kind      Am I doomed to walk my path in solitude      My blood freezes   red turns to black   this is dead   this is me      In earth   I find quietness   which I so long hath seeked
