While he does fall to winters frigid knees
The summer skies do tumble from reprise
With spring so long forgotten in the breeze
His lonesome heart will wander in demise
Such failing hope still grasping out to seize
A glimpse of what is felt beyond disguise
To touch the thoughts of passion in its wake
While basking in its presence and partake
To live without a dream is but to die
And so his mind does fabricate desire
Yet in the cold and bitter trials of night
His emptiness consumes to douse the fire
Its kindling dwindling dark unto the light
Awaken to the morning\'s painful mire
To walk among the living in a daze
His soul found fading fast amid the haze
As fleeting dreams turn back to cast a glance
Forgotten faith lies somewhere out of reach
As grace made haste while leaving not a chance
The piercing of this heart it cannot breach
Nor soothing of its weak and weary stance
For shattered yesterdays did only teach
That what is lost was never truly found
And so he weeps for ties that never bound
Upon this barren starlit winters eve
A wisp of glimmer streaks across the sky
The absence of his feelings took its leave
To make room for a wish he now would cry
A call for hope that he may soon believe
With arms raised high, he gently closed his eyes
And as he wished upon this shooting star
He prayed another saw it from afar
