Forgive Me

"In the eerie stillness of the day,
In the shallows, of our home.
I feel a presence all around me,
In the silence, when I'm alone

The silence is so deafening,
The shadows on the wall.
Hands of time slowly ticking,
Only memories left that's all.

Echo's of laughter of bygone days,
Ghostly images of how life used to be.
Sunlight shines through,
In my darkest hours,
Spirits of loved ones comfort me.

The sound of children's voices,
Echo's from my past.
Now there's only a eerie silence,
Just a void an emptiness.

All that's left are dreams
Of a time so long ago.
Reality's so cold and dark,
Without them don't you know.

But I will always treasure,
Those moments of days gone by.
I promise to be strong,
And hold my head up high.

Then when twilight pays a call,
I shed a silent tear.
Thinking of our days together,
And pretend that your still here."
