Thinking of You

I can still hear your voice though you’re many years away
I can still feel your touch throughout the passing of each day
I lost you so long ago within the dark recess of my soul
I reach out to touch you with a weary shaking hand
But all I can see is the mirror before which I stand
Tortured thoughts and shattered memories
Engulf me in pain, which tries to defeat me
Everything I chose in life chained me
Kept me from being what I wanted to be
Till you set me free
Till you set me free
Memories of long ago
Wash up upon this stygian shore
Here I sit sifting through joy and pain
What have I lost what will I gain
Everything you have lost I will gain
My spirit is shattered my heart has broke
Your body crumples to the floor as I try to blink away the stinging smoke
The shining metal takes a life and slips too the floor
As I blow you a kiss and shut another door
Why did you go behind my back and cheat on me
I'll never know now for you'll never speak again and your eyes won't see
You took my love and turned it to hate
Thus it has turned and sealed your fate
A wall goes up around my soul again
I tell myself I shall never love again
For you took from me what set me free
You took from me what set me free

I particularly like "I lost you so long ago within the dark recess of my soul". I'm just obsessed with soul imagery I guess. It pops up a lot in the stuff I write. Good write, I enjoyed the whole.

"I can still hear your voice though you’re many years away", that line seriously struck a chord with me. Such a sad, beautiful piece, the imagery is mind blowing, awesome write. ~L

"You took my love and turned it to hate" Love is a powerful thing and can get us to feel so many different degrees of various emotions. This write rocked. <3

i can honestly say ive read this at least 5 times it takes awhile to understand it,but once you do it sets of lots of emotions and explains a secret truth beyond what you see
