Tears

These tears I shed
Not are they shed for
a love no more
this wound I carry
'tis not the scar
Of a broken heart


Restlessly, questions me my mind,
Of why I long for this unknown
Beating as hammer on steel,
Drives me my heart; to bleed
The one reason for life
This one madness to keep me sane

The one Quest I was born to complete
Has now abandoned my side


Of a land far far away
I have often dreamt
Through this forgotten life

Of a place where my desire sleeps
Where wounds heal no matter how deep
Where my heart is my own to keep
And yet my blood sings me to bleed


A Haven for this disease I shall find not
Until I play this only part
And give away my restless Heart
And burry my every ART


Though this violent peace I must yet Seek
In Quest for love can I only be, patient and meek
For even with my strongest will, I am still too weak


And now at the end; as was in the beginning,


These Tears of Blood
As they run down my face
Remind me of this beloved memory
That I must yet find

Seeking the mystery of love,
I shed these sad tears,
For the emptiness of me
Of love
