Poem I wrote, enjoy.


Empty Lands

Empty land is all around me
I have lost my way home
I see desolation around me
And yet I still roam

Through the desert
Through the empty lands
I sing my lament
And know that I am damned

Sickly roses roll along the horizon
Gentle rain falls from the sky
And it drowns the bleakness
If only for a day

Dust kicks up
Finds its way down my throat
As the sun beats upon me
Water runs low

I come to the mountains
Noble and tall
But just as empty
As my... soul

I've roamed and roamed
I still can't find
My way back home
My way back home...
