You Should Have Come Over
A stillness came to the house when you were around
At night, as the music began to fade out.
I surrendered as my walls came tumbling down
And the mark in my forehead became just a frown.
Your breath filled the air as I lay awake in bed,
Your scent the only company to keep my nightmares in check.
My memories were entangled with your hair
They came to me with the wind as I followed your trail
I had to forget them, you said, forgive her and give it a rest.
Your voice drowned under the sound of the ocean’s waves.
I wanted to sing and call out your name,
Give you my song and take you away.
Silence, however, is all that remains.
'Your voice drowned under the sound of the ocean's waves.'
Powerful imagery!
Absolutely stunning scipio!
Hauntingly beautiful, have the feeling I may be back to read this many times.
As for the recording, I'll need to come back to be able to listen to that, no earphones where I am (bummer!) - and I've been waiting to hear your voice for absolutely ages!
Hope things are good there. Thanks for the kind message recently re: my father, very much appreciated.
Have a wonderful week! :-)
This was so good it made me hurt.
just one word: beautiful.
