I gaze at the setting sun,
Broken and bound,
As the first glimpse of twilight
Streaks across my face.
My eyes close,
And the tears no longer fall.
Why dare to cry
When there is no one to listen?
Monuments of history’s accomplishments
Rise in the background,
Tainted with crimson hues
From a blood-red sun,
Though one would think it beautiful,
The painstaking pain,
I dare say,
Wrenches my heart,
For I know the moment
The sun is swallowed,
My life ends, left unloved.
