Echoes and Shadows

The echoes in my mind
The shadows on my soul
The heart I’ve lost in time
And the world I’ve come to know


The thoughts are repeating
Over and over again
The walls are receding
The light is coming in


I’ve ignored my mind
Repressing these thoughts
Left trapped in my heart
My stomach in knots
I’ve pushed it all down
Pretending a lie
I’ve hidden the truth
For sake of our life
Friendship with you
Is something I’m not
Willing to lose
Because of a thought
But throughout my head


The thoughts are repeating
Over and over again
The walls are receding
To let the light in
The thoughts are pleading
To let me love within
The darkness is fleeting
As the walls begin to thin


I never thought I’d say it
I thought it wasn’t true
I thought I would just stay and
Be only friends with you
I thought they all were lying
But they already knew
The only person trying
Was me to mask the truth
I am not relying
On any change with you
But I’ll still be hopeful
Until the day you choose


The thoughts repeating
The walls receding
The darkness fleeting
My heart keeps beating


The thoughts are repeating
Shouting out to me
My soul is bleeding
From what I couldn’t see
And now I’m feeling
A change deep down in me
My heart is reeling
Cuz I won’t set it free


The thoughts are repeating
Over and over again
The walls are receding
To let the light in
The thoughts are pleading
To let me love within
The darkness is fleeting
As the walls begin to thin


The thoughts are repeating
Over and over again
Over and over and over again
The thoughts keep on pleading
So I’ll embrace within
The thoughts of believing
That I can love again


The echoes in my mind
The shadows on my soul
The heart I’ve lost in time
Through love I’ve come to grow

Thank you, luv

Glad to be here. I missed this place, but it took awhile to reach a certain amount of stasis in this life of mine.

Yeah, I feel that. Status.

Yeah, I feel that. Status. Sometimes you gotta step outside the light to see what happens. You certainly have status in my eyes.

Stasis

Some semblance of balance and harmony.

I am

A songwriter first, and a poet second. In all truth, if it wasn't for postpoems, I'd only be a songwriter.
This is one of those random "popped in me head and had to be written" songs
I've got so many of them, not yet posted, or posted but not published. I'm working on reconstituting my account.

My voice is now used to sing for children mostly.

Koko

No

I only have lyrics. No music. But I've got music in the works.
