Echoes of Failures

In times of solitude I turn to memories,
Sweep away dust from ruins of my past.
There is nothing I can do to change my faults.
In silence I whisper unsaid words… to you.
Take a little look back there are so many things undone
And what has done is all mistakes in which I drown.
I never said a world, never showed affection.
I stuck in my shell there is no connection.
I open my old but still bleeding wounds
And every time I ask myself: «What if I could???»
I’m still hearing the sound of your cries
Memories canker us.
Frozen memories in which I have my life
Hurt me all these years that have passed by.
I regret deep inside my stone cold heart.
Echoes of failures like reflection in the looking-glass,
Echoes of failures chase us through our lives.
All wounds I caused now are mine and scars torn open,
I feel your grief, your pain. I thought I’ve coped with it.
But time doesn’t heal it and I can’t forgive myself.
Voices from the past are calling me again.
Frozen memories in which I have my life
Hurt me all these years that have passed by.
I regret deep inside my stone cold heart.
Echoes of failures like reflection in the looking-glass,
Echoes of failures chase us through our lives,
Spiraling through time, never know when you meet them.
Recollections of failures.
Keep them!
