                                  Diminished to a bubbling oasis
                                     A heart dies inside
                                     Time to seek out the love
                                     That only one can provide
                                     Torn at the soul
                                     Which is hardest to heal
                                     But not a word is said
                                     And none will reveal
                                     The pain and torment
                                     That dwells within
                                     Never shall hope 
                                     Be found in mankind again
                                     No matter what you do
                                     You always seem to fail
                                     With a heart almost dead
                                     And a soul torn in two
                                     I am finally lost
                                     And do not know what to do
