Sanctum and Solitude


In the abyss of darkness There is nothing you can offer You can't give me love For I love myself more than you can give So in silence and solitude, I heal There is no one can come inside Inside the abyss of endless silence This is my sanctum My sanctuary from the pain No one can love me more than I love myself So save your love Your sweet words For it is hollow and pointless For your love is no greater than mine. Leave me inside my silence So I can heal in my solitude For I love myself enough To help me heal my heartaches and pain.
