Fade Away

This tear stained soul called out in pain The day our pleasures fell like rain Your softest touch my skin knew well Now scars my heart with pangs from hell Fade away Nirvana, fade away Fade away Nirvana, fade away Mournful thoughts cut like Blue North Winds As I strain to hear your voice again I've tried new words and sang our song But a change of lyrics just seemed wrong Fade away Nirvana, fade away Fade away Nirvana, fade away I miss the quiet spent at your side With love, no one could make us hide But now the noise of less things said Drowns out the hope that's left for dead Fade away Nirvana, fade away Fade away Nirvana, fade away 8/25/2020

Oh man Charlie sorry to hear about the surgeries :( Had one to the neck then two to the back last year. I feel your pain! Follow Dr's orders Charlie!

It’s my forth and last. This one has put me in a wheelchair forever. But it least it’s motorized. 61/2 mph, watch out, here comes Charlie

Thanks FJ, doing much better now that I’m back home. I’ve had my fill of spine surgeries. Thanks so much for asking...

A love like this may fade from sight, but it will never fade from the heart's memory. Beautiful lines, Charlie.

Exceptionally crafted poetry my great friend. Sad and sweetly deep. Love the fade away refrain.. A jewel, and a great fav too.
