The Echoes by Dreamer

Echo of the past
Haunting me still
I cry out in the night
As my pillow, with tears fill

Again I live through the pain
Though gone now a year
The hurt still real
Echoes of my fear

I try to explain
Yet no one understands
My pain is mine own
And my sleep it demands

I push it aside
For a month or a day
Pretending it doesn't matter
But in reality it stays

Beneath the surface
The echoes remain
Like a drop to a puddle
Ripples seem to fade

Yet in the back of my mind
And the back of my heart
I know if I try to forget
The echoes will start

So I go through the day
Trying not to remember
When the echoes subside
To sleep I willingly surrender

Though the long past Dragons now sleep away from me. The pain of the fiery breath still scorches my thoughts each night in my dreams. I feel the effects of the pain still. Love B
