✍🏼 ALL LYRICS AND IDEAS BY EME LATINA (2025) *** This is one of the first poems I had written about my mom. I have now re-styled it for the Sound Garden Solo Event Challenge. Thank you for supporting this song. ❤️🖤💛❤️🖤 [Intro - arpeggios, Guitar] [Verse] If you ponder it, you might wonder it how life can lose all wonderment In a moment you can lament, Pain like a block of cement [Verse 2] Minutes become snails, Slow in the mind, & frail; You hear words as if buried In the depths of all things tarried [Chorus] There’s a coldness to my days That wasn’t there before (Ohhh mmmmm) [Pause] [Verse 3] You might wonder how I carried any joy amidst all heartache— Life lost meaning, wasn’t varied; Honestly, it was not for my sake [Verse 4] Days stitched together like a reel I began sometimes to feel real I let Jesus take the wheel; I had to make some kind of deal [Chorus] There’s a boldness to my ways That wasn’t seen before (Ohhhh mmmm) [Guitar interlude] [Verse 5] Your birthday is tomorrow & I wait for the inevitable invasion of your ghost The night is long and lanky like a post, I hope to lean on it before I’m lost… Before I'm lost... [Final Chorus] The day passes into another day... There’s a calmness to what I say That hasn’t been before It hasn't been before... It hasn't been before... It hasn't been before... and after, even more [Outro - Instrumental]
