The Songbird

Ah this grief, is so confusing..

Why, my dear heart, can’t we find peace?

To mourn for that which never happened,

To shed tears for a flower that never bloomed,

To cry for the end, when the story didn’t begin,

To whom shall I confide, lunacy they say, perhaps they are right...


An exquisite pain, an unsettled heart,

Yearning for that, which never was,

A strange grief, in the midst of joy,

A strange loneliness, in the midst of many,

A strange call, into the abyss - will you never come?


Day after day, disappear into nothingness,

Waiting for one, one out of reach,

Is this a sentence, for my past misdeeds?

Is this how, all my days will go?

Do I wait, for this call to be answered?

Or do I wait, for this yearning to fade, if it ever does?
