Echo’s Of Gold

 

I was standing at the water’s edge on a cold winter’s night.

In the calmness of a full moon, I recall the words you whispered; it was your pledge.

 

Promises of love to last.

A life of happiness and many stories not yet told.

Our journey together, pretending and listening to

 echo’s of gold.

 

On bended knee, I pray. The tears fall; I began to cry.

My body aches in loneliness. My heart breaks in sadness,

As you turn away and I can’t make you stay.

 

The wind whispers your name, and if I listen carefully, I can

Hear all the reasons. It cuts like a knife but never dulls the

Pain. Why do the answers remain the same?

 

Promises of love to last.

A life of happiness and many stories not yet told.

Our journey together, pretending and listening to

Echo’s of gold.

 

I have walked this path a thousand times. I have been

Searching and searching, I still don’t know why.

My mind promises the truth, and my entire being hides beneath years of lies.

 

 

I listen still; I can’t hear. I stare, yet I don’t see. I must

Somehow find the strength alone. I destroy even the

Good. I’m barely hanging on.

 

Promises of love to last.

A life of happiness and many stories not yet told.

Our journey together, pretending and listening to

Echo’s of gold.

 

A heart-shaped box, there is nothing inside.

I was compressed with fear and felt so empty, just like the heart-shaped box.  

I threw it all away, turned the key. Now my soul will fight to be free, and my heart will remain locked.

 

Promises of love to last.

A life of happiness and many stories not yet told.

Our journey together, pretending and listening to

Echo’s of gold.
