The gaze of your eyes and the perfectly
Crafted structure of your smile. Still, silence
Stands beside me as I gaze out over
the lake. As time passes I loose your touch
And the water stares back at me behind
An icy shield: my own reflection trapped
Forever. Nothing moves. Nothing breathes. No...
Even I have lost life. The ice surrounds
My soul and silences the waves of the
Wild passions of my forgotten youth.
Forgive my stupidity. I alone....
Never acted upon overwhelming
Feelings I felt for you, left myself in
The shadows to follow a path of lies-
Greedy enough to keep the truth from you.
I fear nothing can save me from myself.
Even the single tear I shed for you,
Though it remembers the joy you bring me
Freezes on my face before it's warmth can
Thaw my emotionless heart to longing.
Forgive me...
Realise that you have power.
Gather your strength and no longer be afraid.
If you share my passion, step forth and free
My mind from the grip of the harsh winter
If you love me, take up the biggest rock
And break the barrier now between us
But if you walk past the rock beside you
And never cast sight in my direction
My soul will be doomed to wait forever
For another. Tread carefully, my friend,
And never loose your way.
Be true, my friend,
Or loose your soul in the depths of regret.
