Soliloquy

Have not updated for some time. I’m having one of those uninspired moments again. Nonetheless, this is one of the songs I wrote late last year for Christophe. Despite it being sung by one of the less desirable characters before his suicide, this piece is quite a personal favourite of mine. We can’t always keep the good songs for the good guys, huh? :)


Soliloquy
(Christophe)

When my tears have somehow dried,
I wish I had not denied,
All the pain that makes me feel.
All the love I never knew,
Hid in shadows of my past.
Fading to dust.

Turn the tide that’s in my heart,
Bring me to a brand new start.
Calm the fear that’s deep within,
So a new life can begin.
Not discover what I lost,
And bear the cost.

I must let go,
All the good times and memories that I’ve cast behind.
I must not show,
All the fresh wounds and feelings that linger in my mind.

I still clearly hear your voice,
It’s not easy to forget.
Yet I know I’ve made my choice,
I must try not to regret.
For I know it’s best this way,
If I ask you not to stay…

Dawn, we’ve come so far,
To this very end.
I just somehow pray,
That you’ll understand,
It is hard for me to go.

Moments that we shared,
Where it all began,
Feelings that emerged,
Which I didn’t plan,
These will stay with me, I know.
