The Silent Wind

Where I used to know where I wanted to go
And where I used to know where I wanted to roam
The news came on a sunny day
and that's where it all seems to end
Now, tell me where do I begin?
What do I do with my life now?
What do I do? and where do I go?
Can't seem to picture your love has gone away
I can feel the pain in my heart and mind
Can't seem to shake it off
I wear the mask you have sewn together for me, for me
And where I used to know where I wanted to roam
Run, run with the silent wind behind me
Can't escape to another world
Can't seem to find death when I seek it
The hours seem so long
The nights are darker then hell
I walk into the distant hall
Where the candles burn for you, for me
The softness of the music
Takes me to you in another time world
And where I used to know where I wanted to go
And where I used to know where I wanted to roam...

Such a sad but beautifully written piece Michelle. Your words seem to seep softly through the cracks of a broken heart.
