- Echoes of Ghosts -

04.03-08.00

walking down the empty hallways
foot steps echoing
behind closed doors
memories jump out to mock me

-

in the split second
between meeting and leaving
you became everything i'd expected
and now that it's time for goodbye
i realize
no one can compare

-

not that i expected them to
it's a hard standard to meet
not even you can live up to it
not anymore
and so i wait
for the day when you start to fall
fall from this pedestal of mine

-

are you my perfect harmony?
together do we match?
fit each other like puzzle pieces?
are you the flame in my fire?

no, you're the ashes after the burn
the remains of all the minutes, days, and hours
i didn't know i'd wasted away

-

why does it have to be this way?
why am i the only one
suffering for lack of memories
i'd give it all
if you'd just give it up

-

this charade
it isn't you
why can't you just be that boy
the one i loved so much
the one i knew would grow up
into the man i could be with forever

-

just to have you back
would be more than enough.

back
