It comes to me on the cool evening breeze,
The inspiration I desire
That rustling melody coming from the trees,
The crackling dance of a friendly fire
Even the sight of wind bending reeds,
Is music to my soul
It tickles and tempts, it heals and it feeds,
And the artist in me feels whole
Where do they go, these songs on the wind?
Who else hears its sweet refrain?
May love of life never rescind,
Or I will never be the same.
If I could chase the shadows, and always make it bright,
I'd take your hand in mine, Love, and lead you to the light.
But shadows tend to linger, no matter how we fight.
Still I'll hold you close, protect you through the night.
You are my one true love, trust me when I say,
Though shadows tend to linger, so too I'll always stay.
The Story We Know Too Well by SongsOntheWind, literature

The Story We Know Too Well
There was a distant, far away world being drowned in a flood
And everyone who witnessed it thought they understood
They tried to reach the world and keep the water at bay
But their hearts grew tired when the storm didn't quickly go away
So the far away world was left to fight the storm alone
But the water was heavy and its hard to carry burdens on your own
The storm raged on and the lonely world grew weary
Sinking ever faster with the load it had to carry
The distant world became bitter and its skies began to cry
Adding to the ocean below and raising the waters high
When the sun finally came out and dried away much of the sea
The sting of a
I don't understand why my eyes are dry
When my heart is being torn in two
The physical pain is unimaginable
But my heart hurts worse because I loved you.
I don't understand why you didn't tell me
That that was our last goodbye.
Why did you let me believe in tomorrow
Did you know that I would die?
Its not a physical death that I mean
That would be a mercy at least
Its a slow and torturous losing my mind
Like a monster that's savoring a feast
Something is squeezing my heart
And I can no longer breathe
But I stay alive through the torture
A sword that refuses to sheathe.
So why did the tears stop?
Its like this state is worse
Did I love yo
I Wish I Could Tell You by SongsOntheWind, literature
Literature
I Wish I Could Tell You
I wish I could tell you
All the things I said
When I knew you couldn’t hear
When all the words were in my head
I wish I could tell you
All the things you’ve done
Because “goodbye” wasn’t the end
It had only just begun
I wish I could tell you
Every night I cried
Every little breakdown
Because the old you had died
I wish I could tell you
The piercing in my heart
Then the dull aching
I remember that part
I wish I could tell you
All the laughs we had
Random little things
My memories make me sad
I’m too scared to tell you
All of this and more
The things I need to heal
Because I’m hurt to the core
But
You Didn't Choose Me by SongsOntheWind, literature
Literature
You Didn't Choose Me
You didn’t choose me
So now I’ll never stay
You thought you had better?
You will rue the day
They say hell hath no fury
Like a woman who is scorned
Well revenge is also sweet
Like a woman adorned
I won’t just fall apart
I’d rather seethe in anger
I’ve cried too many tears
Now fury is my anchor
I wish you could feel it
The hole you cut inside me
I could hurt you worse
But then, what would I be?
Would I be a monster
The way you have become?
Or would I be left empty
Would freedom never come?
You’ve never once been sorry
And I’m just supposed to forgive?
Well maybe that’s true
But how would I l
Do you see my silent anguish,
Do you hear my unuttered plea?
When no one else can see me languish.
Are you aware of me?
I read the Psalms and I say my prayers,
And I know your love is true.
But when I keep secret all my cares,
Do you know what I'm going through?
I know you remember the tears I cry,
and what each one was for.
But do you know the pain when my eyes are dry
Do you feel it even more?
When I'm just sitting here, on my own,
Not even thinking of you.
Are you thinking of me when I feel alone,
Are my thoughts what you're listening to?
This torture is too much for me
But not too much for you.
Will you come now, will you hear my pl

For I Grace the Seas
I am a creature of the deep
I rule the seas while you sleep.
The land with all its roads and trees
Cannot compare, for I grace the seas.
My people roam the world beneath
And do not fear the things with teeth.
Their enemies will my wrath incur
For I am the queen of the Mer.
The water, to you, may seem serene
But beware for there are foes unseen.
My waves can pull your ships with ease
Do not be fooled, for I own the seas!
One more day and I'll see you again
One more day and this system will end
The struggle has been long
and the pain was so wrong
This isn't how it should have been
Just a little while longer and we will be together
Just a little while longer and life will be forever
No more fear and no more crying
No more wickedness and no more dying
Forgiving will be our last endeavor
The day will come when we laugh at pain
The day will come when leap again
Suffering will be a thing of the past
Love will be a thing that will last
With lightness of heart we'll dance in the rain
One more day and goodbye will be yesterday
One more day and I'll hold you and say
