In Loving Memory...


This is a departure from my usual style. What is below is not my work, but rather the lyrics to a beautiful song by alterbridge called "In Loving Memory". Its been in my head a lot lately. I strongly recommend you listen to it, it truly is wonderful.

Part 1:
Thanks for all you've done
I've missed you for so long
I can't believe you're gone
You still live in me
I feel you in the wind
You guide me constantly
Bridge:
I've never knew what it was to be alone, no
Cause you were always there for me
You were always there waiting
And ill come home and I miss your face so
Smiling down on me
I close my eyes to see
Chorus:
And I know, you're a part of me
And it's your song that sets me free
I sing it while I feel I can't hold on
I sing tonight cause it comforts me
Part 2:
I carry the things that remind me of you
In loving memory of
The one that was so true
Your were as kind as you could be
And even though you're gone
You still mean the world to me
Bridge:
I've never knew what it was to be alone, no
Cause you were always there for me
You were always there waiting
But now I come home and it's not the same, no
It feels empty and alone
I can't believe you're gone
{To Chorus}
I'm glad he set you free from sorrow
I'll still love you more tomorrow
And you will be here with me still
And what you did you did with feeling
And You always found the meaning
And you always will
And you always will
And you always will

My Angel



My voice dies.
When I needed it the most, it failed me.
My soul failed to move that which was before me.
My words failed to matter to the one I needed them to matter to.
And now, echoes in my empty heart.
Echoes are all I have of your vibrant symphony.
Your song moved me, made me greater, lifted me up.
Without your song, I am merely a man. No longer great.
Greatness in me came from trying to catch your angel wings.
From standing on my roof, on the edge of my roof,
Staring down, and then looking up at you, floating above the world, my angel.
And your voice gave me the courage to step off.
Your face gave me the power to fly towards you.
Now your voice has died, and your face is hidden.
I fall to the ground, my wings broken.
My words. That which I hold Dearest to me, my Dearest.
My words that have never abandoned me, my voice.
Lies forgotten, or maybe even dead. I cannot find it anymore.
I said that which needed to be said to you. And my heart beated stronger for it.
Till it shattered like a broken dream. It is a broken dream.
A dream that can never be, one that shall forever float over me.
Beckoning me, with its smile and its warmth.
But my wings are broken, as is my voice, as is my soul.
My angel has left. All I can do is stare at the night sky,
Wondering if I could have said something, anything,
Whether I can still say something, anything, to bring her back,
But inside I know, she's gone. And acceptance is hard.
My voice was for her, my words were for her, and yet they failed.
And I cannot bring myself to hope they will never again.

This one is for you.
