She stares down at the water

  Under seas of skies above,

And feels familiar shimmers

  That reflect her dreams of love,

As ripples form and currents stream

  As to the shores of wonder,

"Why must I drown so horribly

  As love's tides pull me under?

Why is my heart so heavy

  As it swims against the tide

To try to keep my hopes afloat

  And keep my dreams alive?"

She's slowly answered by the breeze,

  That whispers only nothing,

That, like love's waves, just pass her by --

  So close, but never touching.

She now leans slightly forward

  As she stares across the lake,

Across the blue of midnight's heart

  That sparkles as night wakes.

"Inside of so much beauty,

  Yet I still feel so alone,

I feel my heart's an orphan

  Without shelter or a home.

If only I could reach the world

  And find my love within it,

Such beauty would be magnified

  Until it had no limits."

Such beauty heals a shattered heart,

  From all the tears it's bled,

But as these waters fade away,

  "It's just a dream," she said.

A single,  lonely teardrop

  Now falls gently to the ground,

And like her silent heartache,

  Does not even make a sound;

So as the night continues on,

  In beauty and defiance,

Her heart grows ever darker,

  Ever colder, in the silence.
