• some stifled a laugh of silent rage
    some blew their tears across this stage
    much more than kids at play

    My heart collided with my mind
    I rejoice the pain I felt inside
    For I won't have to hide

    My town I love is growing cold
    the things I do are growing old
    the ethereal bell hath tolled

    The streams of life that part my face
    soon I'll be a stranger in a strange new place
    still searching for that one warm embrace

    relations, revelations, a musical sigh
    the long-awaited feelings, the cry
    I couldn't see you, because I
    felt something I needed all
    along to feel human to feel
    strong not a song but just

    heart pain.
