Echoes

ℂ 2014 Nastassia BB

Hush now Love. You're holding the flame too close.
Isn't our love enough? What am I missing?

Your brown eyes have gone astray.
Are you hearing the words I say?
Tell me we'll be okay-
are you even listening?

I burn as the doubt draws near.
It's not the flame I fear,
but what's tearing you from here,
and what we'll be losing.

Ensnare me with every lie
that echoes our love's goodbye.
Until you're too tired to try
and I'm barely breathing.

Hush now Love. You're holding the flame too close.
Wasn't our love enough? What am I missing?
