Eyes staring into dark emptiness, Seeing nothing but shadows, Dark shadows. But now, Only musty emptiness. Lips longing for the taste of life, But only whispering words Into the darkness that Surrounds me like a blanket. My legs want to walk, but cannot For they know not where to go. I cannot talk for I know not what to say.
Words are only words to be used for nothing.
So, with bondless faith, I sit, look, and listen. Hoping that someday the heartaches I've had, The teardrops I've shed, Will only make life dearer in days to come. But lo, somewhere in the shadows, between the twilight and the dark, Lurks an image. Shy, withdrawn, troubled. Not beautiful, yet lovely, Hair as soft as silk, Eyes that shine as diamonds.
