I find myself alone
under a silent moon
my heart is still falling
sailing into a dark, black hole
my life has been a series
of shattered dreams
in the darkness, I am wishing
for a shadow in the mirror
for a far, familiar voice
a precious recollection
a touch that burns forever
and a yet un-promised truth
like waves of winter
your absence consumes me
empty without you
I feel your soul stirring
like lifeless leaves upon the trees
still walking on shards of glass
my feet bleeding
but my heart finally set free
