My Deserted Place

There was a voice It came from parched lips There was a voice That brought me to my knees There was a voice That split my world in two There was a voice It sent me close to you There was a voice That played with my mind There was a voice My heart would never hide There was a voice That ragged me in scorn There was a voice Dissolving all my hopes There was a voice It doomed my simple fate There was a voice Draining out my hate A noise too loud to bear It nailed me to the floor Confined me with bonds tougher than steel Cruel chains of life that cut my wings The noise was so loud I couldn't hear my thoughts Collapsing into each other Fierce winds raping the dust Of a mental desert
