Reflections

(excerpt from a song I wrote a long time ago)

A loneliness remains inside my soul
Where your spirit flows nobody knows
Fantasies and illusions ease the pain
But nothing in this lifetime will stop the rain

Pictures of your smile reel through my mind
But sometimes it seems your face is hard to find
The details of an angel are slowly fading away
But the echoes of your voice will always serenade
In my heart, in my soul,

Is this moment surreal or was it the life when you were here?
Promise I’ll never forget; I’ll always keep you near.
A new journey with different paths, so many miles of a different sky
Leaves me wondering, without you, who am I?

If this is part of a song you wrote, I would like to see the rest of the lyrics. This is a good write.

Why didn't this one look familiar to me? I see I commented on this one before in almost the same words.

If this is just a portion of your song, then I would love to read the rest of the lyrics. This appears to be well-written.
