Echoes

Though still a million miles away

Your echoes fill the air

A long forgotten yesterday

Yet still I feel you here

I sit and watch the clouds roll by

And close my eyes and think

The many tears I did not cry

Would more than fill a sink

Your voice still lingers in the sky

Above the mountain tops

A time that once was you and I

A time almost forgot

You’re still out there somewhere I know

Your voice, so haunting still

To you my dear, I’ll never go

This problem has no pill

I trust that i’ll forget these things

Your face will be a blur

Ne'er again to hear you sing

You won’t deny, you won’t aver

That day cannot come soon enough

I’m tired of this noise

 I sit and overlook this bluff

False hope has left me poised

But no my dear, I will not jump

I’ll not end what could have been

Though in my throat a heavy lump

I’ll never cease to dream

You’re years away but still I hear

Your voice and see your face

You echo loudly in my air

It’s time I leave this place

I’d run as far as I can go

Run as fast as time and space

Something stops me quickly though
A problem not prefaced

Your echoes are not in the air

I can’t leave them behind

You my dear are everywhere

Seared forever in my mind
