BACK IN TIME

Just read

By the candle light i see my shadow cast on the wall,
Something about it pokes my soul,
So I'm taken way back to when I was small,
Sitting on the veranda, eyes on my father,
Never knew much about life then, my thoughts didn't stretch that further,
The sun could sing as it sunk down west, then the moon could peek from the east,
It wasn't much, but the little given was the best.

Blame it on time and fate my world decided to become a bit real,
We cuddled by the green door that evening,
Stinging pain is all i could feel,
Like little sparks coming out of a spooked fire, some of us can only glow that long,
Memories left behind in pictures only made the nostalgia strong,
He was gone.

And so am I,
Gone is the faith once brewed in my innocence,
In me I sit at the backseat, leading myself on with no sense,
Tryna bruise the world just as it bruised me,
I've pleaded guilty to the shadows beneath the light,
Only coz it's not bright enough to fade away this grey just right,
I've surrendered the fight that keeps me awake at night,
I'm out of might, I'm out of sight.

That's what i thought,
But by this light burning gracefully i recall how much I've fought,
To separate what i am from what I'm not.
