All Alone

Reaching out,
Stretching forth,
Looking about.

All alone,
Crying out,
Still alone.

No one's there,
Will they come?
Will they care?

Can I hope?
Shall I dare?
Can I cope?

Here they come,
Do they care?
Only some.

This Tree

A tree grows where nobody knows,
This tree stands where nobody goes.
All alone,
Standing there,
With nobody really able to care.
What if this tree cries?
What if this tree dies?
What if it dies, all alone, standing there,
With nobody really able to care?

Time

Time surrounds me,
it is moving all around me,
but here I sit,
forever waiting,
for you to come back.

Why did you leave me all alone?
Time was my friend,
you've made it my enemy,
you took it with you,
and left me here.

My soul now swims in eternal unrest,
Time doesn't exist for me.
Won't you bring it back?
Must I suffer,
forever?

I know not what forever is,
I have no sense of time,
no reality in my soul,
the reason, you ask,
Time.

...running softly
down
a
hill.

...to escape from
something
unimportant.

...lying to myself
and
wondering
why.

...I am me.

I am nothing important...

I am nothing important.
One lost soul amongst thousands.
Groping for reality, like a child for his mother.
Dying for love, like a rose for water.
I am nothing important.
