The loneliest tree in the forest
Heard all the rest fall
But couldn't hear the sound
Of its own heart breaking at all

No one sees through sadness
Eyes clouded by aching tears
The aching feeling reminds
Of every tear shed for years

Release of pained breath
Flows out so very cold
Like a dry cool kiss
Blowing back from a winter old

Time crawls by now
With everything standing still
A touch from Father Time
Ages creation against all will

A troubled mind left alone
Wanders through scarred history
Beatings and tears long ago
Opening every door labeled "misery"
Opening every door containing misery
