Ashes

Song I wrote.

it's been more than twenty years now
since the world seemed like it was ok
and i don't think that i can remember
how a smile looks on your face

and i still think about the good times
and i still lose myself in the past
in the pictures where nothing had gone wrong
back when we still could laugh

ashes to ashes
it all fell apart
a misunderstanding
and four broken hearts

logic and reason
left out in the rain
lying's in season
and we're all in pain

it's the life that's been given to me
it's too short to dwell on memories
i close my eyes and try to make it pass
so that the future won't repeat the past

and i've given up pretending to be normal
but i've given up on many things before
time won't heal the wounds without a reason
when i'm throwing swine in front of all the pearls

ashes to ashes
it all fell apart
a misunderstanding
and four broken hearts

logic and reason
left out in the rain
lying's in season
and we're all in pain

i'm not the only one who hasn't moved on
and i'm not the only one that's hurting here
but sometimes it's really hard to focus
when you're trying to see through all the tears

ashes to ashes
it all fell apart
a misunderstanding
and four broken hearts

logic and reason
left out in the rain
lying's in season
and we're all in pain


forget being happy
it's not in the cards
forget about fairness
when we're all at fault

it's never over
and things never change
i can't make it better
and we're all in pain
we're all in pain

I do! I do like it! I was singing it as I read it...not sure if I had the melody you intended, but it does sound like a good song. It's a bit vague regarding the lying and the four hearts which I like. It flows out nicely in the end which is a good place to land from this lovely rhythmic piece. Well done!!

I like the way that the rhyme scheme moves around with the longer and shorter lines.
The way it flows is beautiful.

Yes, i loved it!!
Its hard to move on
from something that is painful now
and still was painful then.
But dont dwell on it like you said
life must go on even if it takes
time to heal.
Thanks for sharing

Best wishes

That was my favorite part.
I really like it.
And I love how you conveyed the painful feelings.
