To the One Who Walks Alone

Behold the living and the dead.
The false name of your mask never dies,
And your distant, weeping confession
Is a pain that belongs to you alone.

Even if the love of sorrow drifts far away,
A dream that cannot laugh remains your only freedom.

The axe that strikes after blind faith
Is a wound of yours that can never be washed away.

The beauty within your singing voice
Is a silent dignity you can never confess.

Behold! Look at that light of reflection.
Are you still walking all online, all alone?
