I’ve been walking by the river for so long, that I’ve begun to wonder who cried these tears- and where from? Screaming are my thoughts inside and tears of my own fall into the sorrow on the surface, But below the real battle hides, deep beneath the heart Where the soul bleeds, waiting for forgiveness. My image from the mirror faded along time ago, where did that child that used to fear go? Now stands a man, supported by the shadow of his former self, where does my soul belong? Now I breathe no more choked on feelings why did you have to leave me in the darkness all alone where memories haunt me by the hour seeing the dawning of my grave drawn closer wanting to bury these memories that hold me back all the unseen cuts now scars of a life somewhere in the past. And voices speak to me from the heavens shattered pieces of my heart waiting to be put back together, I’ve tried to run away so many times before, now I’m crying for the thoughts to stop screaming in my head before I go and put myself to rest in a place I shared with you. Where we had a moment when I once smiled as you held me close and the beating of you’re heart was the song I’d long to hear then you’re whispers as you’d say you loved me and you’d never let me go now it seems a fantasy as you left me all alone. |

Where we had a moment when I once smiled as you held me close and the beating of you’re heart was the song I’d long to hear then you’re whispers as you’d say you loved me and you’d never let me go now it seems a fantasy as you left me all alone. once and still do sometimes feel like this about someone...but then something marvelous happened...I was never alone...and all those years, upon thinking I needed someone in my life to be whole, I found me...and I became my best friend...in that, we are never alone, only better for loving someone so...more refined perhaps in that definition, realizing what we wouldn't do again...and what we would cherish more. This was amazingly beautiful and yes, you made me remember the pain and heartache of that loss...but we have our God given life, to continue to succeed and prevail...and nothing and no one, can ever take away that love from our souls...in that is the awakening, and beginning. Hugs...and thank you for such a heart felt voice. |
