Kc
The inner voice of a multitude
Your words and aching lamentation
Comforted generations still to soothe
Melting hearts liquefying emotions
You once bid farewell to love
Claimed no-one ever cared
If you should live or die
Would we now hear one more cry?
A fixed smile barred your pain
What if you only once shared the strain?
You sang of sweetest dreams come true
Glaring into eyes that adored you
Asking let me be the one
Yearning for a loving touch
How you longed to see the sun
The emptiness and lonely void too much!
Oh how your universe sparkled
You felt on top of the world
He made your feelings fly
And shone his starlight down on you
As each last note was played
You realized every promise he made
Broke before long, at the end of each song
How you searched for a place to hide away
Your loneliness oh what a sad affair
If only he promised a lifetime to share
A heart punctured, your essence fading
Finding the right one an eternal craving
There was nothing so hard
As convincing your brittle heart
That time would ease the pain
Your dwindling health such a shame
Your loved ones dear misunderstood your fear
They pleaded you leave your sadness behind
How you sometimes longed to quit
Yet your blessed voice would not admit
You were love’s greatest non-believer
Yet you saw the wonder in most everything
You left a beautiful lasting legacy
The radio still preaching your fantasy…
