I'm so tired and so alone
I feel a longing for another
A chill within my bones,
An emptiness in my heart

All I feel is the dark
The dark, and the cold
This pain leaves a mark,
A scar that will not heal

It feels so empty and hollow
Walking this desolate path
Longing and pain are all that follow
Footprints leading toward the horizon

Accompanied by only the past
My soul worn ragged, my face thin
Longing for love that will last
But all I see ahead, is my abyss

Searching for one so fair
Fumbling in the dark, too blind to see
That there is nobody there
I long to find her, to love her

One that may relieve my pain,
But sometimes I cannot help but feel
That I am searching in vain
Searching...for someone that doesn't exist
