Shattered Rhymes

[Fleur-de-Lys]

These songs that no one sings
these words that no one hears
black ink on tattered paper
Trying to ban my fears

Exiled to empty rhymes
Urging to be yelled out
Infecting those who listen
Transporting love and doubt

Remember not the words
Remember the sensation
Of sharing the emotions
The sadness and elation

And maybe in the echos
You'll find me touching you
Even when I'm long gone
My soul lives in each song

This song I sing for you
These words are all I have
To show you who I am
Even with my last breath

I'm hoping that you'll see
In every shattered rhyme
That I tried to preserve
Our little share of time

So if you read the words
Remember the sensation
Of sharing our emotions
The hope and the frustration

And maybe in the echos
You'll find me touching you
Even when I'm long gone
My soul lives in each song
