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
