Echoes of You

For me the sun has closed her eyes Never to rise again Darkness is all that surrounds me now Darkness and echoes of pain I'm on a journey to nowhere The road is narrow and long Walking alone, I stumble and fall With echoes of you and our song I try to look to the future, but I may just as well be blind The absence of you is all that I see Echoes of you so defined Confusion and pain, my constant friends They never leave me alone Reminders of all that you and I shared Echoes I cannot disown Today or tomorrow will never be mine I live in a dark, sad place The past, not the present, is all I can see In the echoes of your lovely face Emotional scars are invisible But the damage is built to last I wonder, will I ever be free From echoes of you and the past...
