Rambling

Looking back and looking forward

Looking lost in every way

Looking in an empty mirror

Wondering if I’m here to stay

There’s a ghost in my reflection

There’s a shadow over me

And the clouds on the horizon

Make it difficult to see

There’s an echo of a haunting voice

Resounding in my head

And a memory of something

Or someone long since dead

There’s a highway in the desert

And a sea bird in the sky

There’s a dark chord cutting through me

And there’s sadness in my eye

Today is such an empty place

Alone is how I live

Paralyzed by what I feel

With so much left to give

Drowning in my own regrets

My soul cries out for air

And dreams of words unspoken

Are muted by despair

Struggling to convince myself

The present moves so fast

Tomorrow is another day

And yesterday has passed

Maybe each day brings me closer

To where I need to be

And farther from these memories

That get the best of me
