Reflection in the Wind

A long time ago...

A long long time ago
I could close my eyes and still see what was ahead of me
The world stayed at a steady pace

And even if I looked back on it now
All that I would see is a cloudy haze
Yeah she was once the one for me
But when time came for us, oh, she was quick to flee
And by morning she was gone
Had taken my thoughts and my heart
And was on her way home

Maybe I was the on the losing side
Luck had come up for the last time
And in the mist of the morning
I'd open my eyes and see the sunlight
I could smell her perfume from right behind me
I'd miss a breath and turn around
To find an empty space
So cold to the touch

We'd spend hours sharing stories about childhood
Our secrets, our treasures, oh we'd laugh
But when it came time to leave for good
The look in her eyes just didn't seem right
Once a sweet sky blue
Now a hollow void

And I told her that I loved her
Maybe it was wrong to be honest
Did nothing more than waste what I had
As cliche goes, I'd die without her
But here I am, alive and not well
Freedom staring me right in the face
But I can't move, I'm frozen in time

And now I still dream of her
I wake up screaming
And I'm not sure what's real
I touch my face and want to smash it in
Take out my brain
And make it work again
But I know it won't, so I put my head back down
Hoping that my feet will leave the ground
And that when I wake up, I'll be in another place

you really need to stop being obsessed with girls that will never love you. and their cheap victorias secret perfumes. and texting them constantly so they have to tell you to back off. and maybe not lie to them and tell them you're dying because of your liver. and maybe not be such a whiny-self-righteous-sit-in-the-corner-and-pout-b***h when people want to drink at a concert. talk about a hypocrite.

Wow! This is so deep, emotional and powerful.

I touch my face and want to smash it in
Take out my brain
And make it work again
But I know it won't, so I put my head back down
Hoping that my feet will leave the ground
And that when I wake up, I'll be in another place

Incredibly brilliant and sad, Travis. Fantastic writing... the entire piece was great!

i feel the heartbreak in your words...the hurt, the loss, the pain of losing the person you thought would be there for you.
there are two sides to every story, and mine is from the other side...that is another story.

well written...a good read.
