Perpetually drowning in the lagoon of the forlorn,
my soul constantly weeps for you,
it needs you near for a moment of tranquility.
My tears, they continually pelt your photograph,
streak your image and blur my sight.
Drip, Drip into streams, down the sides of my face,
these disregarded tears call out for you.
Intricately woven cobwebs of despair surround my heart.
Darkened rays of ghastly sunlight cast down over me,
one by one, they shadow all.
Clouds fill every gap in my mind,
they choke my thoughts.
I'm forever chased by phantom legions of my mind.
Insanity stares back at me from this reflecting dark crystal.
Childhood incantations,
foretold me of your existence in my future.
This undying eternal desire for you freezes my insides,
makes me feel like I just cried a thousand storms
without actually having shed, a single one of these sere tears.
The scars of my heart are harder to endure,
than the one's of my physical self.
Few are the dreams you've accompanied me in
they have certainly comforted me and kept my jaded heart beating.
Grant me another one of those coveted dreams of you.
Will dreamland be the only domain where I get to be with you?
Little I feel in this world which you exist on.
If only I had the power to make my desires come true,
I'd be with you wherever you wished.
The only way to relieve some of this repressed woe is to painfully
and slowly shed each one of these dire tears, to transform them into this threnody.
