Midnight Rambles
I'm Fine
I'll once again where sorrows hide,
to store these mem'ries deep inside…
and place them there with sorrowed hands,
wrap them tight with aching strands,
torn from a heart that felt too much,
these mem'ries of a loving touch…
this pain I can no more abide,
I'll set it there, where sorrows hide...
buried deep beneath the streams…
and scattered paths to broken dreams.
a seed with ne'er a chance to grow,
laid rest beneath the ebb and flow…
of waters made from sorrows tears,
that rest on sands of hopes and fears.
this seed that blooms with only pain,
will never feel the touch of rain…
nor scent a blossom's sweetened breeze,
that winds among the living trees.
destined only to sleep and fade,
as time forgets what love has made.
Beneath the trails of gardens lost,
built from pain at sorrows cost…
to nestle there with hopes last light,
beneath an ever-present night…
and with a sigh my soul seeks peace,
that scattered wide with pain's release,
to harbor there with love's last plight…
I leave this lost and endless night.
Walk past the fields of barren stone,
through gated paths again, alone,
as mem'ries erase and sorrows hide,
to ease the pain that's locked inside…
walled away with lock and key,
the strands connecting me and thee…
now locked away and buried deep…
to haunt the edge of fitful sleep.
but to my waking mind I see,
no shadows left to darken me.
as slowly time lets me forget,
that I had known or even met.
one whose soul was like to mine,
one whose heart did intertwine,
one whose warmth once touched a heart,
and pulled the chill from every part.
those mem'ries gone and stored away…
allow me to face another day,
with shuttered eyes and faded smile,
to cover up that even while,
I stress the fact that I'm okay…
the light has dimmed, and night holds sway…
but always you will hear me say...
"I'm fine"
to store these mem'ries deep inside…
and place them there with sorrowed hands,
wrap them tight with aching strands,
torn from a heart that felt too much,
these mem'ries of a loving touch…
this pain I can no more abide,
I'll set it there, where sorrows hide...
buried deep beneath the streams…
and scattered paths to broken dreams.
a seed with ne'er a chance to grow,
laid rest beneath the ebb and flow…
of waters made from sorrows tears,
that rest on sands of hopes and fears.
this seed that blooms with only pain,
will never feel the touch of rain…
nor scent a blossom's sweetened breeze,
that winds among the living trees.
destined only to sleep and fade,
as time forgets what love has made.
Beneath the trails of gardens lost,
built from pain at sorrows cost…
to nestle there with hopes last light,
beneath an ever-present night…
and with a sigh my soul seeks peace,
that scattered wide with pain's release,
to harbor there with love's last plight…
I leave this lost and endless night.
Walk past the fields of barren stone,
through gated paths again, alone,
as mem'ries erase and sorrows hide,
to ease the pain that's locked inside…
walled away with lock and key,
the strands connecting me and thee…
now locked away and buried deep…
to haunt the edge of fitful sleep.

but always you will hear me say...
