Silent Steps

                                                                                                                            Silent Steps       



Silent steps in darkness
I try to take to find my way
Back to you

But your are in the distance
I dare not go

Your voice shatters my soul when I hear it
And you still make me quiver
With stirrings of passion and pain
Left behind never to return

Everyday I want to go back
But I cannot
I have left me there
And there is no more

Yes it was me who fled
Yes it was me who knew
I couldn't go on chasing a dream
Only to know that reality was so cold

Bitter nights of frozen lay over me now
Stepping on warm beach sand a faded memory
My heart is buried there
But I cannot go back

You loved me
But how
You needed me
But how
You cared but how

Only the faces of the past speak to me
In quiet tones like
Ghosts passing in the night
With the sky black with grief

They whisper no more
I love you no more
