Stage Lights
I walk up the stage to preform
I stand in front of the enormous crowd
A bright light shining at me
I open my mouth but nothing comes out
I look around for you among the crowd
But you're not there, you're far away
So I walk down memory lane with a heart full of pain
Hearing your voice again is the only thing keeping me sane
Your voice, oh how I miss your voice
It made me laugh like a child getting attacked
by Her father's ticklish hands in the park
It made me tear like a mother on her son's college graduation
It made me smile like a girl hearing her first I love in a room full of red roses
Your voice, oh how I miss your voice
Like a bow playing on the strings of our memories
Like the warmth of the sun in a bleak mid winter's day
Like a paper burning in the flames of fire
It must all come to an end…
As your voice starts to fade away again
I'm back to the dark place I was in
In the dark shadows that won't let the sun in
I shut my eyes and start sing.

Very moving. Deeply felt.
