In the prison of thought, I weld a past that promised the poignancy of pain.

A purposed life, a prosaic myth, until you danced into my vision.

I chose to love you in silence, for in silence I found no rejection.

I chose to love you in my dreams, for in my dreams you were only mine.

Your voice echoed in my heart, left unheard by the cold.

I felt you near, yet you went beyond the shore.

Left for sunken eyes, a silhouette, beneath the stars.

I chose to love you in silence, for in silence I found no rejection.
