Tears of Soliloquy

With nothing to be Memory's all he claims As his own As he wanders the streets So alone A wandering wayfarer of the abyss He watches the rain find its way to darkness In the sea That desire, deep inside him To be And a need but to know What it means to control All these flames, deep inside That cannot be denied But must burn Down to dust in his eyes As he yearns Only to realize What calamity broke him Humanity, truth What catastrophe means To the empty, the few Who can know What it ever has meant To be whole And now deep in his soul As he watches earth's tears Is the blinding reality of all these years He's spent searching So deeply inside For his self For the mask behind lies Behind dilated eyes Overeager to learn What might be their demise How he yearned How he yearned For the rain to fall down From the stars to the ground How he yearned That the rain Might fall down to the sea Of his soul
