Echoes

The quick bullet: a tough one to dodge. No one ever does. It cuts fast and deep, keeps you from sleep, and you have to let it bleed. I know the pain. It's all too familiar. If I could sing words to help you know I would, and they would end the pain but you will have to let this make you stronger. It's difficult to overcome. The name of a ghost still dancing on our tongues. So bittersweet, these memories. I wish they could have taken me. You will struggle through tough times and destroy all your fears. Don’t let this win over you. Soon you will end the pain and you will say that it did make you stronger. This is how you overcome. Voices fade away as the memory remains. We’ve all heard it sung but you really don't know what you've got until it's gone, and then you want it back so much. Nobody ever warned you. Breathe in. Take it in deep. Cross your heart. It's yours for you to keep. Wishful? I guess I never was. I am looking up now. Death can change us. I will keep pieces of you alive in me. Your spirit carries on. I will stand alone. I will learn from this. I will mourn the loss and I will be stronger.
