in the quiet corners of my heart
where whispers start
there's a melody that's playing
it's tearing me apart
with every note that echoes
a tear falls from my eye
it's the song of lost tomorrows
where the sun won't rise
so sad the tune that plays within
a symphony of sorrow where hope has been
so sad the rhythm of my soul
the dance with shadows in The Twilight Zone
in the silence of the evening
when the stars forget to shine
there's a voice that softly calls me
through the fog of time
it's the voice of all the moments
that I wish I could reclaim
a requiem for the laughter
that's now just a faint refrain
so sad the song that lingers long
a ballad of the broken where the night is strong
so sad the cadence of my dreams
a lullaby of endings where the light won't be
in the garden of my memories
where the roses used to bloom
now the petals fall like tears
in the moon's pale gloom
and I try to find the beauty
in the pain that I embrace
but the melody of sadness
is the only song I taste
so sad the tune that haunts my days
a dirge for all the joy that the night erases
so sad the harmony of grief
a chorus of the lonely where the silence leads
so sad the final note I sing
a tribute to the love that the darkness did bring
so sad the end of this refrain
but the echoes of my sorrow will forever softly rain
you
