I walk beside a river
born of my own tears
And watch my dreams
now tuned to dust
being washed away

I look to the water
to find a reflection
But it's too hard
to recognize
the person that I see

Eyes that used to burn
so bright and full of life
are now clouded over
by the depth of sadness
within my soul

I hear a familiar voice
retreating to the distance
I find it is my own
But the words are hollow
and fall.... meaningless

So I keep on walking
Staying in the shadows
of this dark and lonely path
A prisoner of my own silence
Fading into eternity
< !signature-->

 Something has to change. An undeniable dilemma. But I am not a burden anyone should bear.

Like it A LOT!  You said this was revised?  I wonder if I read the other one.  It sounds familar.  Well, if I didn't I didn't.  I read this though and I think it's excellent Danni!

 ..."when you walked into the room...I saw their faces---
did you know--you made it seem like time was standing still...
and I felt---fascination...though I only knew you then--just casually...
then you slowly turned and smiled in my direction...
and my heart gave me away"....
