***
Perhaps, it's not so dreary, after all...
I saw my body down the empty hall.
No one could hear the aching sound,
there was no one, no one around.
The inmost chambers would preserve
my last of smile that's grimly curved.
The empty rain would quench the floor
yet I would feel it nevermore.
I shall traverse this endless maze
as stars would definitely gaze
at what once was a man they loved,
who pursued dreams with a heart so soft,
who found, alas, a broken heart
but couldn't find just where to start...
As time had passed, my self decayed,
my only love got tired to wait.
At last, with pain I realized
that no one noticed my demise.
And so it was, those elements
were sets of me, untied ends.
They tried in vain to grasp the void
that was with endless maze alloyed.
They've soared and sought where to belong,
until they catched a distant song.
And at that moment they forgot
that they'd be born only to rot.
Perhaps, it is so tempting, after all,
they saw a body down the empty hall.
With a will to live and urged to own
they're once again condemned to roam.
