The Echoes

The echoes are getting louder
once they were silent,
my ears hurt from their shouts
once gentle spirits
have turned violent
what do they say?.

The echoes are getting louder
screaming to be heard,
within them I hear her
asking and weeping
where else would you go?.

The echoes are getting louder
like they never left,
they now know my name
calling me to them
stop the noise
lest our voices drown out.

The echoes are getting louder
uncovered by the truth,
they never stop
now they're my reality
they've become my blood
passing through my veins
these echoes are louder than ever.
