Across the Void
I stand here alone
on my ledge
Out above everything and everyone
My only comfort is the freezing rain
turned to needles by the wind.
Still I stand here.
I can look out across it all, still see it all clearly across this void.
I remember the days,
back when I meant something.
Back when I was of value, someone you cared about
I'm not the only one here who's distant
So far away that its not worth the reach.
But I have my reasons for the way I am
A logic behind it all.
Why I've bolted my doors from everyone.
Whats your reason?
Hardly a reason at all since its unknown even to you.
So as I stand here with my hands in my pockets, shivering in this storm
I think back again about all the deep talks,
the times we were there for eachother
Every tear, every smile
Every hug that never happened.
I know that there's only one thing that remains true in my world
I'm always going to be here.
And I'll always be waiting for the day.
I turn from this ledge, with one last look across the void
Where only silence dwells, the wind and rain the only company to the forgotten memories
the words once spoken without a voice
Which may never have been there anyway.
Back into my tower upon this cliff,
back into the dark recesses of stone I go.
To my tomb, to my solitude.
Where I will always remain in secret, when all else is forgotten,
when every last glittering jewel turns to powder,
when the last flower finally withers,
only the things I've givin will be there to remember me by.
And you'll never know I'm gone.
