Within My Life

I have this ache behind my eyes
Being fed by all the raindrops
Falling from the steely sky
To roll gently off of the rooftops
In a nonchalant parade
A liquid serenade
Of ever changing rhythms
Within the song that’s my life

There is a shadow on the wall
Being cast by something kinder
An etherial ghostly scrawl
And a constant reminder
A painting without a frame
A cause without a blame
Slowly moving across the wall
Within the room that’s my life

There is a light that’s shining in
Reflecting off the floor boards
Touching warmly on my skin
Then climbs away to move towards
The darkened corners where
The heart lies in despair
To lift all of the shadows cast
Within the cracks of my life
