A Tear For Kanade

This happens all the time,
The water ripples far from my mind,
I know not, yet know yet again;
the water ripples, is this my sign?

If I walk away, will I sink?
If a wish comes, is it a thought?
What is it that I feel,
Aye, Aye, how could this be real?

I needlessly say, to want again is much too far for myself,
This pragamatism is the being, left on a shelf.
Why can it be like this, I feel empty now.
The ending of this draught is what my heart can't know.

Ah, I wonder, is this how I end, 
All left to the reality without a friend?

I wonder, if at the start of the pine,
runs a jetty, much like my eyes shine.
The falling is calming,
I cannot tell when one hits,
or when another is stopping.
Here this heart throbs in fits.

I wonder when it will stop,
how could such a low have a high drop?

I wonder what could be, 
if, without me, everything would be?


If anything were true,
Could it have been you?
Not that I would know,
Shortly I will feel low;

When I think,
know I not which goes beyond?
I can't think.
I can't move on.

Her hair couldn't have been silver, 
I felt cynosure, yet I revelied.
I will never be past this briar,
This thicket in which my heart will never breed.

How shortly is the ground seeded?
How rampantly down can I be dragged?

I feel the rain,
cool in the air,
hot to the touch, I feign
how can I live without this prayer?

The rain is cold, 
the sky grows dark,
the sun has recessed its warm hold:
There, I can hear the lark.

If I were to know,
it would be her soul,
Is it at her life I toll?
Or in this life away do I stow?

Ah, ah, ahhh, the winter wind is come
the summer wind is come,
the rain rivulets, 
the brief rage capitulates

Aloh Aloh, I can't seem to hear.........
For my heart is nowhere near,
Ah yes, all but, save, pride was lost
a man who cried is this kanade's cost?
