Beyond control my heart’s desire Burns inside as I’m on fire - And as flames flicker, and vapors vanish, I yearn: But through this icy world, I fear I’ll fail to burn. Just another unnamed star Afloat beyond the darkness far: Forever, I wait with mortal pain With hope to in an instant wane From where the light does not reflect – Or where, so numbed, the light I can’t detect. So young am I, it seems, To perish with a dream That lies but steps into the morrow, Where I, alone, shall fall and reap no sorrow.... |
