Ending Light

Darkness is the result of my ending light.
When my soul gets as black as the coldest night.
My hope burns out like a candle's lost flame,
And nothing that happens can make me the same.

Love is nothing but a cold, ruthless lie.
I'm kept awake at night with my cries.
All my words get mixed up into nothing,
And there's nothing anyone can do to help me.

I'm not sure what I'm missing the most,
And I feel as transparent as a ghost.
There's nothing here that's left for me to defend.
I see no light, but I know I'm at the end.
