In the vast depths of loneliness In solitude beyond description I wade through the chilling darkness Removing the veil of shadow Drawing back the curtain of despair To stumble upon a lake of tears Glistening in gloom Illuminated by the shade Dilated pupils frozen in awe The past magnificence noted The current state appreciated The arid future feared The mighty lake was draining One drop at a time the on looking eyes wept Drawing back from their cursed reflection At the emptiness which stood beside them Engulfing him Regret streamed down his face The lake steadily flowed toward obscurity But the salty memories never ceased Tears for love Tears for loss Tears for a future never to be remembered Tears for a past I can’t forget
