Rocking back and forth, side to side
Utter silence in our sphere presides
A look, no a glance I dare throw in your way
Pleading, seeking a sympathetic glare

Pride lurks like a lion in hunt
Neither one dares oppose its might
Instead love pays the price over shame
Eternal sadness swings in our way

The winter's cold grasps our hearts
Mute, lifeless as the frosty leaf
A new plight to our shore comes
As I look behind with love and grief
