It doesn't take long
to memorize someone
but it can take a lifetime
to forget the memories,
the pain and the
heartache.

Rain of shine,
the solitude stays the same.
Wherever I go and
whoever I'm with.

When was the last
time I felt like myself?
Maybe when I was young
all those years ago.
But those memories are
as distant to the present
as I am to myself now.

You got used to the
shadows and solitude
where you always felt
most at home.

Sometimes I need my solitude
when the battery gets low,
when the voices are too loud
and when I feel the weight
of the world upon my shoulders.
We all have our ways of recharging
whether it be in shadows
or in light.

One step forward,
two steps back.
Reality is a tough place to live-
it is also a tough
place to leave.

Sometimes,
between this distance,
darkness and silence,
your voice will break through
and sing away the sorrows and shadows-
a reminder that we are never
truly alone.
