Empty Voices

~By Munro

If you ask a man what can make him cry.
He would most likely love to lie.
But he knows the answer deep inside.
The truth he can really abide by.
The real tears of the eye aren't shown.
Rules of the Jungle make him frown.
Soul releases only in the empty darkness.
Filled not by love but deep sadness.
I can only cry if you leave me darling.
Ill be waiting every second for you to return.
The fuel so tender, love has nothing to burn.
If you'd go, you'd take my life, you'd take my hope.
The shadows of the valleys seem to be home.
Never changing in time, never gone.
Waiting for the return of the simple presence.
Banned from normal living, normal giving.
We all speak the same language, same despair.
The voice I'll be sharing, when you left me to stare
Sharing loneliness without my Duchess.
Being the trail with no witness.
Hearts of Stone, Eyes filled with water.
A collective universe, everyone a starter.
With a million voices telling the same I've told you.
I'll be waiting, for the day you will come through.
