Walking Alone

Silent, unsmiling eyes

Tell me a story

Which your lips wont speak

And I have no wish to hear anymore

Words fade and drift away

Meaningless lyrics of songs unsung

Choices and chances defined

What was won and what relinquished

Life is but lived in very few moments

That burn bright and sparkle

In dark, dull corridors of memories

Barely a touch of warmth

A flicker from a candle flame

Struggling in vain against coldness

Loneliness and fond longing

In desolate, starless nights

The moon reminds me of strong shoulders

Endless peace and fulfillment

Of nights in your arms

Silent moments where hearts spoke

Eyes glowed with sparkling tears

No more farewells, no regrets

We each chose our way ahead

Sometimes, walking alone is the only choice
