always
Always the poet never the poem
Always the thinker never the thought
Always the singer never the song
Always the third never the first
Always the reader never the story
Always the one who longs for
never the one who is longed for
Always the lover never the loved
Always the shadow never the light  
Always the question never the answer  
Always the artist never the muse
Always the dreamer never the dream  
Always the wanderer never the place  
Always the heartache never the peace  
Always the yearning never the embrace  
Always the echo never the sound  
Always the hope that’s never found.
