The city is asleep
Midnight shrouds all
Owl comes out
Sits on his perch
Alone in the dark

Cooing a sad melody
For feelings past
Love once grand
Long since perished
Past grips tight

The days slowly pass
Owl's dreams crushed
Love not to be found
Was his love that gave out
Pure beauty she was

T'was only her he loved
Not one other close
To him his heart is her's
Last to ever belong to

For she was
His life,
Lover, passion,
Found himself
Anew inspired by her

Here he falls apart
Alone in the dark
This broken hearted
Owl sings,"
will she ever return, will my heart be renewed?
Coo, know not what to do, hopes battered and busied.

Never to know her
To always be incomplete
know only of her
Love's twisted
Embrace to be
Renewed nevermore."
