Fire
ive been here before
...i cant remember the name
the faces and times and places
in which i do now reside
but once before i know
...i have been here long ago
when time was new and the old
seemed light years away
not one finger can put place
but the name is on the tip of my tounge
who are all of you? who was i among?
was it you...or me....
slowly coming to mind
is a fire
destroying all the past
and soon the future with it
screams of the misinderstood
echo in my mind to the day
day after day i hear my name
behind my sholder but nobody is there...
soon silence fell
along with the ashes of what was
and eventually what became to be
...me
_________________________________________________________________________
...that once long ago
seemed so fresh in the mind
all the details shined
like the gleam of the very blaze
i know why i dont know
because i dont want to
the sun shined so bright
...on the day it rained the hardest
and no matter of pleading
could bring back the sun
...it was lost forever
coming back to what i used to know
wishing what i couldve done
but nothing could i change
and the sun never rose again...
