Nostalgia

Your laugh is like an echo

In my brain, it's never-ending

I hear it when I'm trying to sleep

And when I'm awake, it's still there

It's a constant reminder of what we had

And how you're gone now

Every time I hear it, I feel the pain

Of losing you all over again

When I was younger

I thought that happiness

sounded like laughter

echoing in a room

full of people having fun

Now I know that happiness

is the quiet sound of rain

falling on the leaves

while you're safe and warm inside

Wave of Tears

..............................

Tears that flow like a wave

incessantly crashing down

never seeming to end

just building and building

until they finally break

spilling over onto the ground

a never-ending flood

of sorrow and despair
