Emptiness of Time

With every breath it hurts
Not the heart
The soul
Alone in the dark
Afraid of the light
With every breath it hurts
One more day held tight
One more night braved
With every breath it hurts
Soul carved
Soul scarred
How many days
How many nights
With every breath it hurts
How many lifetimes
Has the soul endured
The pain
The loneliness
The emptiness of time
