Lost songs of youth


When my meager existence lies in moot
And tears that tread seem shed in vain
When itching are my rotten roots
And I feel that I have lost my way
Then a voice it whispers from my youth
But I can't make out what it wants to say


All I hear is blurry echoes from the past
Of a carefree cacaphony never built to last
From days when I played for fire still unbound
But music made falls on aged deaf ears
All tones flow firmly to the ground
Of songs forgotten through the years
The strings are stricken without sound
And all my words were written to be lost

Haunting last line. Hard not to relate to.
There are voices of one's youth that are now just ghosts in the mind. And far too many words once written are now truly lost. Thanks for sharing.
