The Words I Hear

So this is very emotional (indirectly mentions death about another) but I wrote it and it means a lot to me. Sources are at the bottom and the italics are the songs, the normal don't is my work.
" *~*~*~*~* " symbol means new stanza.
DISCLAIMER AT THE BOTTOM.

Hello,
We have not spoken in a while.
I know and that is my fault.
I've been trying to hide myself.
So I find myself hiding myself from
All the songs that remind you of me.

*~*~*~*~*

Welcome to the Hotel California...

The Eagles played this song.
You are my eagle...
You checked out,
But you never left.

*~*~*~*~*

There's a feeling I get when I look to the west, and my spirit is crying for leaving...

I shrunk whenever I see images of you.
Whenever I feel close to you,
I feel so sad because I miss you.

*~*~*~*~*

All you sinners stand up sing Hallelujah...

You never had the ability to do this,
Yet I always come to tears when I hear this song.
And it feels like I'm drowning.

*~*~*~*~*

So what would you think of me now
So lucky, So strong, So proud?
I never said thank you for that
Now I'll never have a chance...

I hadn't seen you in months.
And I couldn't bring myself to see you so broken.
But I didn't want you to leave.
And now your recent memory is the cool feeling of the barrier.
And the roses that lay on top of it.

*~*~*~*~*

Don't tell me if I'm dying
'Cause I don't wanna know
If I can't see the sun, maybe I should go
Don't wake me 'cause I'm dreaming
Of angels on the moon
Where everyone you know
Never leaves too soon...

You never liked listening to the doctors,
And then it was the last time.
You stopped and a while later,
You just...gave up.
But you fought a lot.
And in the end I hope you are happy.

*~*~*~*~*

Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more...

It's over, you don't have to fight anymore.
There's peace now.

Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion
I was soaring ever higher, but I flew too high...

At the last moment, I think everything was clear to me.
But it was too late.

*~*~*~*~*

We'll carry on,
We'll carry on
And though you're dead and gone believe me
Your memory will carry on
We'll carry on
And in my heart I can't contain it
The anthem won't explain it...

Even though I don't feel it, I'll carry on.
It takes time.
We will remember you.
But no words I could write will explain it...
The feelings I feel toward you.

*~*~*~*~*

Though I've tried before to tell her
Of the feelings I have for her in my heart
Every time that I come near her
I just lose my nerve
As I've done from the start
Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on
Do I have to tell the story
Of a thousand rainy days since we first met
It's a big enough umbrella
But it's always me that ends up getting wet...

I have tried to explain how I feel about you, but it never works.
I can't explain it, but not matter it
I love you no matter what.
And my love for you will never end.
This is the first song I heard
After the ceremony,
But I'll carry on.

*~*~*~*~*

I will never forget you,
Or the things you did for me.
You made me a better person,
And I could never thank you enough for that.
You can be gone, but you can never leave my heart.
You'll move along, I'll move along.
You finally have your peace.
Thank you, my eagle.
I love you to infinity.
