A Stranger

stranger
Yes me, I don`t hear it anymore
Aimlessly, hardly aware it was gone.
I tell you , listen ,please listen
oh do listen to me . . .
Iterclacing of the horror
Ever growing dark corners of my youth .
silence . . .
Dazzling display int`t it .
I hear it no more
The angry voices plunging me into a nightmare
ment for death and destruction
" no vacancy " it was written
All over the heart of a stranger .
or so i thought
It was a lost cause
Like the sun rising at night
A speeding bullet flew by
came to a stop in this heart
No magor damage
or so i thought.
Only one prayer send by
one caring heart, yes
one kind word expected by a friend,
recieved by a stranger.
when in the dark you lose
sight of love,
when quite time reach shore.
when laughter turns into crying.
when fears become a reallity.
i`ll keep this promise
i will be here.
Remember me, you will
remember me.
