Vacant Love

In the absence of love
We find the comfort of solitude
Relief, in our mind’s eye
Would be, to just die
Cold
Alone
Without hope
As you stare at the length of rope
Waiting to deliver you from sadness
You succumb to this madness
You bid farewell, because my dear
You could never tell
The reason for all your tears
As I wonder
When will we meet again
Peace falls over me
This sweet, sweet reverie
The absence of love
Now a distant memory
And now I know, the secret to hope
Is to realize
That no matter how hard you fight
You can’t stop, the pain of life
The sincerest apologies
Will never make this right
Sorrow rocks you to your core
But I know
You won’t cry anymore
In the absence of love
You’ll find comfort
In the stars above
