I'm bound to this 
Frame of mind 
For the time that has passed 
Leaves more and more 
Of a mark on my 
Soul 

Our story is the same as the one before 
The pages have faded with time 
And the words once written so elegantly 
Are smudged and unreadable as the days go by

And the years that passed 

The voices 
Created a sweet soft song 
Like a melody 
Sung for a child 
Sleeping in their bed 
As their father sings them to sleep 
As he did years ago 

And the music 

The birds that sing 
In the dead of night 
Are just voices 
No one hears 
Silenced by the sounds 
Of the world
And the expected 

The bats that fly 
During the day

I was drowning 
The water filled my mouth 
Leaving a taste 
So bitter and sharp 
It stayed forever 

I sit and wait,

Like a dog searching for its human.

Cause for you I will wait, 

Like a dog.

Forever.

Deep in your eyes,
