There is a part buried deep inside
That lies dormant
But every so often
Every once in a while
Hope breaks through and shines its light
Into that concealed place
Sitting beside a virtual stranger now
Not sure how it happened
Just sure that it did
All those dreams I carried within
Slipping out of my grasp once again
Everything has given way to blackness
This horrible vacant blackness
That's swallowed my very soul
