My Emptiness

I feel so empty

Deep inside, a thirst you cannot quench.

I feel a pain, you cannot heal,

a thousand tears are shed.

I search in corners, dark and dry.

In caves of sin I go.

I feel a sadness deep within,

ashamed I stand alone.

My soul is hungry,

its dying,

its cold.

I seek a warmth I cannot find,

a Love from One who cares.

For simple pleasures

cannot fill, the darkness in my soul.

But One who can, is waiting there,

He sees and calls to me.

He wraps me in His warm embrace,

with forgiveness for my mistakes.
