How far I have walked alone
Into the distant unknown.
Mist and subdued fear
Always knocking, constantly near

How long I have danced forlorn
In a city that already had me mourn
For myself, the soul that has been gone
Away from the city that doesn't sing my song

How long I have been deprived
Of love; how much longer can I be terrified
To think and try to breathe
So to avoid the blade and sieve of Lethe

How long I have lived
With this bitter sorrow forgiven
Pass this drear from my lips
Breathe in the tears of suffered scripts.

The End
