I cried an ocean and fell in too deep
Eyes wide open; powerless to sleep
Floating listless through barren spray
In a world of color, seeing only grey
I painted a sunset and collapsed into night
Wings fallen away; incapable of flight
Trapped in desolation and hopeless defeat
Living with a soul only halfway complete
I smiled and my heart grew heavy with grief
I tried to believe but was met with disbelief
Neglect and doubt shadow my every stride
I have nowhere to run and nowhere to hide
I screamed and yelled but I heard naught
I tried to think but was devoid of thought
Ceaselessly I sought love’s elusive cure
But a loveless heart is too much to endure
Was heard then a quiet poignant tune
Under the light of a bright crescent moon
Slowing with the ticking of love’s clock
Singing like a melancholy music box
