Silhouettes: Poems & Songs

by Francis R. Guevara

without really living

  Week after week I faded from my hopes and dreams

  I faded from what I believed in through silent streams

  And time after time I echoed the past and fell

  Till you came in my life and saved me from hell

  Now the days don’t seem quite as long as before

  And the smiles I frame are as strong as my core

  Cos you held me through the doubts and the fears

  Through every void I faced once on my own

  Cos you broke me from the hate and the tears

  Through every sense of forever being alone

  I searched for long, but it was you, searching for me

  Oh, I searched for long and I can finally breathe

  I can finally breathe, and now I can see what I long since kept away

  The courage and the strength you brought from within my soul

  I can finally breathe, and now I can see what I long since kept away

  The truth and the love you brought from within my soul-oh

  Now the days don’t seem quite as long as before

  And the smiles I frame are as strong as my core

  Cos you held me through the doubts and the fears

  Through every void I faced once on my own

  Cos you broke me from the hate and the tears

  Through every sense of forever being alone

  I searched for long, but it was you, searching for me

  Oh, I searched for long and I can finally breathe

  Oh, I searched for long and I can finally breathe
