Beyond Myself

I cannot see beyond myself

This pain is all I see

Loneliness surrounds my hollow soul

It will not set me free

Hope has turned his back on me

My dreams are long since gone

My empty heart will beat no more

My thoughts, my heartache's pawn

Compassion will not look my way

Encompassed by screams of sorrow

Betrayed by my will to live

I may not see tomorrow

Regret becomes my only friend

And an enemy my mind can't quiet

Reminding me of mistakes I've made

Though my heart will always deny it

I cannot see beyond myself

My eyes are filled with grief

I count the days before I die

This is my only relief
