A Song for the Unseen

In Silence, I stand alone No echo, no voice, just a hollow tone I reach for warmth, I reach for light But shadows are all that hold me tight Alone in places no one sees I wander through forgotten trees I give my heart, I give my soul But emptiness still takes its toll I search for faces, search for signs But silence answers every time A whisper lost in winds that roam A boy unseen, without a home I read of grace, of love returned Of kindness given, lessons learned But here I stand with open hands No one to meet my quiet demands Loneliness, my only name A quiet fire, a gentle flame I cry for love, I cry for grace But no one sees this hidden face Loneliness, you know me well You built the walls in which I dwell I dream of warmth, a gentle cloak Of laughter shared, of words once spoke A patchwork made of tender thread To wrap around the tears I’ve shed They pass me by, they never see The aching soul inside of me I long for eyes that truly care For someone just to be right there I offer light, I offer peace But find no place where I find ease I give and give, but still remain A stranger to the joy I feign [Intense buildup, louder voice] Now here I stand, the edge, the end No lover, no brother, no friend Just me, myself, and silent skies Loneliness in full disguise So if you hear this quiet song Know that I’ve been lost so long And if you feel the same inside Let’s break the silence, let it die.
