A Song For the Lost One

By maddin foxxxy

It was you
too long ago
As yesterday is
A year so long

is one hour that long?

I never forget
what could have been
just the never was
and the never will

the electric guitar
(rages) (screams)
As the beams
of silence
wins

You sang for yourself
what you felt like
being ...
wild and free
dinner to me
never too weak

losing
is always an option
without gambling
all in

this love
it went like sin
creeping in
you felt like sin
rushing in

I sang for you
what I felt like
being with you
openhearted
long departed
never too weak

losing is always an option
without even playing to win
where there's love
there is loss

is a minute that long?

wait ... and listen

where there's you
where there's you
there is love

It felt like sin
nearly wrong

A second that long.

    Wonderful from start to finish Maddin'. Despite the soft and flowing verse, I would have to say this piece has a fiery passionate feel to it. Would make an excellent song.

    ..a heartbeat can't be trusted as a measure of time... sometimes the heart will skip a beat... sometimes it races... But there are times when a moment seems to short... or far too long...

    and I do believe the heart is to blame. I don't know why I just said all that but thats what I thought of after reading this. I enjoyed much :) :::OLd

    i love the flow of this, absorbing and deep, beautiful the 8th stanza especially, feels like the poem is whispered in a way, mezmorizing work

    Wow....sorry for the cliche, but your works so often do this to me, leave me with nothing but...blank. Wonderful.
