I know deep down inside
There’s someone I recall
Someone who left to hide
Before the change to fall
Got to find the voice to shout
No matter what the cost
Somehow let the someone out
Before the voice is lost

I know it never ends
Eyes blinking it all away
But the pain never mends
And the words go astray
The rift opens wider yet
Bridges burning, falling down
Crushing reality starts to set
And curses the broken ground

I know that someone’s here
There are traces in the ash and smoke
Seems like a grey and truthful tear
As the remembrance begins to choke
The pieces of someone left to fade
To scatter as something less
By constant purging in slow degrade
As they become nothingness

I know the pieces fit
If only for a moment today
I know that this is it
The moment has gone away

Such a voice, even if reduced to a whisper, is worth the quest! This is poignant to the point of heartbreak... and pure perfection!
