THE RUNE X

THE RUNE X

FROM THE MEMORIES

I CHERISHED

IN THE RUNE I WEAR

AROUND MY NECK

IT NEVER COMES OFF

LOST IN THE TIDES

OF TIME

THE DEPTH OF MY SOUL

RIDES THESE WAVES

FROM THE MOMENT

THAT CAME

WHEN ORION WAS

IN THE SKY

AND UNFORTUNATELY

I COULD NOT

KEEP MY PROMISE

I WAS COMPLETELY

BROKE

IT CUT INTO ME

SO DEEPLY

THE SACRED GIFT

PADDLES ON THE

SHORES OF MY HEART

TO WHAT TEARS

I SHED

OVER AND OVER

IN THE SCREAMS

THAT NO ONE

HEARD BUT ME

KNOWING

IT WOULD NOT COME

BACK AROUND

THE HOURS

GO BY IN THE SILENCE

LIKE A FOREVER

DREAM

THAT HAS FLOATED

PASSED

OUT TOWARDS

MY DRY LIPS

LEFT WITHOUT RECOURSE

OH TO THE

DREAMS

OF WISHFUL

THINKING

OF A TIME

WHEN I WAS

VERY HAPPY

FLOWING DOWN

THE WATERFALL

INTO THE GORGE

THE RING

WENT

ALONG WITH IT

I LET GO

OF THAT FOOLISH

NOTION

THAT I HAD

FOUND MY SOUL MATE

SPARKLING

LIGHT SHINES

OUT AS ITS GONE

LIKE MY

BUTTERFLY

OF HOPE

YET

I GO ON AN ON

IN THE GIFT

MY RUNE

I KEEP OVER

MY HEART

STAINLESS STEEL

AND NINE DIAMONDS

CREST IN

IT WITH ALL

I KNOW

IS I GAVE EVERYTHING

I HAD

INTO A

MOMENT

WHEN LIFE

I THOUGHT

WOULD BE

FINALLY

WORTHWHILE

INTO THE

BROKEN SWEETHEART

OF MY SOUL

WILL FOREVER MORE

REST SOMEWHERE

AT THE BOTTOM

OF THAT LAKE.
