these songs are all that I am
they say the things that I am afraid to bear
without mention of who or where
we are frozen in time like photographs
stored in boxes and unfinished melodies
waiting to be heard to justify the memories
they are all that I leave behind as I farewell
the solemn songs on which I dwell

what a very melancholy voice here, i adore it.
please leave off 'that' in your last line, it will be sooooooo lovely and smooth without it. your rhythm otherwise is impeccable. thanks for writing!

This is a great piece, I caught myself on the second line, it read to me as if it should have been hear not bear but perhaps you meant it that way. Well done on a great piece. Best to you in the contest
