Desolation - A Mere Shadow, Lonely Passenger

Desperate to have a connection, though devoid of the resources to achieve such connection

emptiness inside is visible through the cavernous pools of his eyes

some say he's always been that way, born emotionless, drained of life

others claim he changed in time, shaped by heartbreak, ruined by life

love can be such a cruel mistress when it goes, leaving an unfillable hole

apathy often takes its place, for misery loves company, a band of brothers

the loneliness settles, becomes his safe place, his fortress of solitude

isolation from anything that is a memorial, nostalgia is cast to the abyss

opening his heart to no-one else, ever again, for fear that it may burst

never finding peace for his shattered soul, a mere shadow, lonely passenger.
