The Ballad of No one:

It's been so long since I heard your voice,

That sweet tone that never fails to enchant me,

Your words seem so humble yet so strong,

Like the sight of a thousand doves that have been set free.



When I walk alone I see your ghost standing beside me,

The nights are long and the air is so cold,

Hunger and sleep evade me.



My life once colorful seems so gray,

That beautiful rainbow has been swept away.

The grass seems neither green nor brown,

And my heart fears silence in which it will eventually drown.



The winds blow lightly as I sit by the sea,

Carrying your whispers into the night,

And in the silence, my heart weeps,

As time slips away and out of sight.



I watch young lovers sit together in arms,

As they graze the meadows of life,

I feel neither anger nor envy,

As I ponder over my plight.



Each breath I take, hurts my soul,

The shadow of loneliness clings on,

And in this darkness I seem to crawl,

Towards the one that was once my own.
