Voice
A voice whispers inside my head
Thoughts of love feel me with dread
Don't let anyone near
Hold no one dear
They only bring a tear
Walking away
Never to stay
Staying alone
Cold my heart has grown
No love shown
Days come and go
Before I know
So goes another year
So grows my fear
Cold is the ground on which I sleep
Sometimes I unconsciously weep
Sitting in the night
Looking towards the light
Invisible in plain sight
Wishing I was someone
Feeling done
Waiting for my time
Come some rhyme
Life
The strife
The battlefield within
Those without sin
Stand in my shoes
Feels my blues
Inside my mind
No quiet is there to find
Life in rewind
Conversations from the past
Days going by so fast
Fighting yourself all you've lost
The true you pays the cost
The pain inside
From which you cannot hide
Where the pain does abide
Long into the night
You huddle close to the light
Seeking it's heat
Where are my frozen feet
Watching ,wishing for the day
To make it's way
Then warms your soul
Make a new goal
Make it through the day
Find your own way
No one will ever stay
Makes one old
My youth I sold
This ol man you see
That's who I be
Not asking for a thing
Owning only what I bring
Lonely is this road
No one to help with my load
Do I care
Do I even dare
Now, let's be fair
I am someone you cannot even see
That's who I be
Longing to be free
