The Voice

The Voice

I halted at my journey’s end

A sudden pull , a sudden jerk

I looked back with a heavy heart

To my past that was coming dark;

The happy days I spent,

The love that I shared

The things that made me laugh

The tears for those I cared

Pictures floated before my eyes

Of the world I knew so well

My heart is breaking to pieces

It is time to say farewell.

My love for the days I knew

Called me silently

A voice beckoned over their shadows

I am your destiny

I closed my eyes to shut the sight

Writings on the western sky

Crimson still my eternal bed

Burning in my mind’s eye

The day you’re born oh lonely maiden

I was chosen your partner to be

Birth is where you spend your day

But the night is left to me

I am your journey’s end

A bond you can’t break free.
