A Whisper In the Darkness
I whisper into the darkness
Of how I used to be
And creatures of the night
Whisper back to me
They tell me of all their secrets
Of unspoken truths and lies
I listen to them praise their friends
And bash the enemies they despise
I listen and remember
Of such a long time ago
Of when I had courage and strength
But those days are no more
It’s like the fire burning
Inside my soul
Like the hurricane
Blowing in my heart
It’s like a pounding, pounding, pounding
Pounding in my brain
And someone screams to me
“You will never be the same.”
I think of days gone by
And of how I used to be
I remember when I loved her
And she was in love with me
If I truly learn to love again
I will turn and walk away
I can’t bear to think of the damage
I might cause if I stay
My hearts been known to hurt
Those I love the most
So I will disappear
Like a long forgotten ghost
It’s like fire that burns
Deep into my soul
A hurricane is blowing
In my heart
I feel the pounding, pounding
Pounding in my brain
I hear someone scream
“Don’t forget my name”
I fell in love with a dream
Of what could have been
All I have now is the memory
Of what should have been
All the days gone by
Have been tossed into the sea
Don’t ask me how I’ve been
Or how I’m gonna be
In the morning I open my eyes
And look upon another day
I forgot what happiness is
And of why I can’t stay
And the fire keeps a burning,
Raging in my soul
The hurricane blows strongly in my heart
I feel the pounding, pounding, pounding, pounding,
Pounding in my brain
I scream to the winds,
“I won’t forget your name.”
