The endless quiet of a heart

Blackened leaves. Falling.
Darkness. Consuming.
I can hear them calling,
Under the frozen roots

The darkness, consuming
The sickness, blooming
Under the frozen roots 
Slowly, as it pollutes

The sickness, blooming
Through a blackened heart
Slowly, as it pollutes
What once did love

A blackened heart
A forgotten part
What once did love
Now dies in the dark

A forgotten part 
Lost in the past
Dies in the dark
The endless quiet of a heart.
