He Drank

By Julie O'Hara - Author, Poet and Spiritual WarriorPublished 4 months ago 2 min read

(Verse 1)

He drank until he felt no pain,

In the shadows, he found his way,

Blackness whispered, a quiet embrace,

Fell into slumber, lost in space.

(Chorus)

In the void, he foundhis peace,

Letting go of love’s deceit,

Loneliness, just a fading dream,

A self-defined reality.

(Verse 2)

Drowning in illusions,

Expectations held him tight,

Buried under liquid shadows,

Searching for the light.

(Chorus)

In the void, he found his peace,

Letting go of love’s deceit,

Loneliness, just a fading dream,

A self-defined reality.

(Bridge)

He denied the truth,

Lost in the night,

A cloak of nothingness,

To escape the fight.

But in the silence,

He’ll rise anew,

From the ashes of the past,

Find the strength to break through.

(Chorus)

In the void, he found his peace,

Letting go of love’s deceit,

Loneliness, just a fading dream,

A self-defined reality.

(Outro)

He drank until he was empty,

Until he fell in blackness deep,

But in that place where shadows fade,

He'll find the soul he once betrayed.
