Pain

 I peer into the this place called pain 
That lies within my heart 
A place that's riddled with endless holes 
Like scars from an assassin's dart 

A place that's filled with hollow dreams 
That ends in desolation 
Where darkness overtakes the light 
Void, of illumination 

A loneliness, full of shattered hopes 
A barren and empty shell 
An eternal tomb of wretched screams 
A place that I call hell 

Echoes of a love long gone 
A place where sorrow awaits 
Knowing not of right and wrong 
A den of reprobates 

An endless maze that leads nowhere 
A deep and forgotten stain 
A shallow grave of tortured souls 
This place that I call pain
