Echos

Losses have piled up, a darkened soul in pain,

Best friends gone too young, to war and disease.

Mother’s heartaches of loss, a burden so deep,

A darkened heart that wears on, a weight we must keep.

I’ve put too many in hands of blackened eternal bags,

Awaiting the echo of zipping, the sound of my mother’s eyes.

So many souls laid into my arms, in death’s heavy embrace,

My eyes the last seen on this earth, a heavy, haunting space.

A young burden of death, a soul that won’t be dismissed,

Questions of my worth, a darkened soul in quest,

For meaning, for love, for a life I can trust.

Father’s death, a mother torn apart from her son,

A fatherless child, a weight I must bear, a burden to own.

But in the echoes of their love, I find how to live,

In the stars that guide me, the light I must preserve.

Every step, I’m fighting for more than survival,

For the love that still beats, for the light that’s reviving.

I’m not just surviving, I’m learning to thrive,

In the echoes of their love, I find how to live.

We keep living, for those who can’t walk this earth,

Their spirit lives on, in the fire of our worth.

Through the pain and the scars, we rise up again,

With the strength of their love, we become who we can.

The nights feel so heavy, the weight of the past,

I whisper their names, and it starts to recast.

You’re the stars in my skyline, the light in the dark,

The reason I keep going, breaking the mark.

Though the world feels so heavy, and the pain won’t relent,

I hold onto hope, like a steady, strong current.

In the glow of the moon, I see their faces,

In every small victory, in the dawn of the soon.

Every step, I’m fighting for more than survival,

For the love that still beats, for the light that’s reviving.

I’m not just surviving, I’m learning to thrive,

In the echoes of their love, I find how to live.

We keep living, for those who can’t walk this earth,

Their spirit lives on, in the fire of our worth.

Through the pain and the scars, we rise up again,

With the strength of their love, we become who we can.

And when the darkness closes in, and the fear feels so near,

I’ll close my eyes and remember the love that we share.

It’s the heartbeat of hope, the rhythm of grace,

A reminder that love is the light that will always replace.

We keep living, for those who can’t walk this earth,

Their spirit lives on, in the fire of our worth.

Through the pain and the scars, we rise up again,

With the strength of their love, we become who we can.

Outro

So though the burdens are heavy, and the questions remain,

I’ll carry their love like a shield, and fight through the pain.

For in the echoes of their light, I find my true worth,

And in the strength of their love, I’ll rise from the earth.
