Echoes In The Night

Following the death of a loved one.

Lost in the memories

Watching the shadows on the wall

As they play and echoe,

In this place you once lived.

 

It is hard for me to comprehend

Though somehow I can understand

Life does not go on forever,

We can never be immortal.

 

Loved ones pass on,

And live within our hearts and minds.

But still my heart is broken,

As long as the echoes still live on.

 

My world has been haunted

With the cries and whispers

Of the ones you have left behind

Like ghosts searching for their souls.

 

Roaming through this dreary house

Wishing for the peace of these lonely souls.

Peace that will never come...

Until they know where they belong.

 

I still try to move forward,

Keeping my head above the water

Taking it one step at a time

As we lay your soul to rest.

 

Maybe now, these ghosts can move on too

And soon find their peace,

Then the echoes and whispers can stop.

And I can finally get some sleep....
