Do I dare to utter a word?

Do I dare to utter a word?

That could turn into a storm

And would blow so very far



People would stare

Lovers would request

The reasons of my wretchedness



Fingers would eagerly point

At my grey withering hair

Rumors would start

Of the years that have passed me by



Thousands of wishes

Went past so very fast

Yet every wish took with it

A little bit of my heart



No relations are left alive

Just a simmering hope of light

That helps me live past this life



Life it seems is passing in harmony

With the pace dictated by time

Yet a void still remains within

Of the moments that are still alive



Acquaintances, friendships and relationships

They are latent within my heart

Yet there is this longing

Fervent within my eyes



Moments spent in laughter

Moments spent in joy

Why do I feel something missing?

From the compilation of my life
