Cold Blue

In the forest dark and deep
I found myself falling and weep
Heard your name in the breeze
Wade through your shadows in my heart I freeze

In the moon's pale light, I saw your smile view Beautiful yet haunting in the cold blue
A quiver in my voice in the dark I cried
Hoping you still stayed by my side

When gazing into the  night sky 
I remember the love I felt in your eye 
My favorite reflection was in yours I agree 
Now I am just  broken hiding behind my poetry

Your memories slowly fade with the night 
Waiting for the warmth of the daylight
Still Lost in the darkness fallen apart 
Am just a fallen soul with a painted heart

To my Old Self

I hear you screaming at me!
To the one I let you be
Scars of the wound from the past
Has kept you quiet till the last
I let my Old self cast !

I need to step back on her toes
To her shadows where I froze
I still knows that my bitterness echo's
But silently my breath carries my tomorrow
From my old self which I hid deep below
I let my Old self cast !

I want to feel the rhythm from my chaos
Where i let her pass across 
I can't feel my smile nor the truth
The hardest part is finding her 
Where I can't find myself
I let my Old self cast !
