Eternal Silence

The sound of rain
Putters outside the window
I look out, watching, waiting in vain
As people pass by, busy with life

My face dry and cold
Far from what I hold inside
Tears welt up, blink a few and keep it in
Thin as a balloon my heart loses elasticity

The beating once fast, has aged
Weary and wondering when life had passed
Still waiting ... so patiently
The pain, a numbness i cannot explain

Have i slowed time?
I quickly fall into a deep gaze
Staring at the pool on the streets
Like Alice i begin to dream

Break open the vaults inside
The prized possession i see
Take not what is guarded,
My heart opens to thee

Sorrow fills my soul
As one's life is caged yet free
Filled with your glory and might
But lost in love's first sight
