The last tear (never falls)

How long?
How far?
Where is the peace?
Will all this turmoil
never cease?
Never
-Such an endless word
And only words
I can't express
defy it
I want
to hold you
safe, secure
But this my shackle,
Time
Bound by laws
that never change
written deep
And deeper still
than simple words
My dearest friend
My closest one
My confidant
You are my soul
there written is your name
But to unearth
this treasure
precious beauty
not yet Time
And Time again
now makes a stand
and writes upon the sand
We were
too close to part
so suddenly
so swift
Hearts do not bend-
they break
To slumber, Soul
To sleep, my Heart
To gain prospective
from our dreams
To raise our eyes,
our hearts,
to see
Fathom Time
measure pain
With what?
Tears do not have
a scale, a weight
Though first indeed
was heaviest
the second more
and even so the third
and weight increased
with each that fell
but never done
the last tear never falls
Patience lurks
and battles fear
and loneliness
and dread
all that was never said
So beautiful
the madness
life
So speechless
Oh, my Soul
Sweet air
sweet breeze
bring unto me
the scent of spring
Rebirth
new love
and trust again
and love
undying
like the last
the brightest rose
that winter slew
And will this last?
Will fruit be born?
Instead of pain
and ashes torn?
I ask how many times
how many can
the Phoenix be reborn
A feather lost
each time love falls
can it
can I
survive
this life?
Rekindle fire
resurface heart
be born of hope
that never dies
be born of love
again
I've never fought
my heart so much
my mind
my everything
and all that's lost
is me
But sands of Time
must find a shore
a solace sweet
where there she meets
my Sea
my Mentor
Sanity
my Verse
my Rhyme
my me
And Time will meet
me on that beach
As waves
as tides
wash out
erase
the me I never was
And as I walk
I write on sand
the words I find
inside this ghost
the me I really am
and as I walk
I dream
I pray
I wish
I know
that Time will cross
my path with yours
Before the shedding
of the last
the feather
and the tear
