AUTHOR'S OTHER TITLES (17) A Foreign War (Songs) A song I wrote about a relationship I was in. [92 words] [Relationships] A Lost Conscience (Poetry) I recently had a bit of drama in my life. I ended up sleeping with a girl that my best friend really liked. I know, not good. But I think it help explains the poem. Any feedback is really appreciated. [173 words] A Midnight Journey (Poetry) I wrote this poem after getting lost in the woods while camping. It ended up kinda as an allusion to death too. By the way, try not to drink and wander. [131 words] [Mind] A Simple Night (Poetry) I wrote this about when you're in a fight or broken up in a relationship and you know it is time to go back. I guess just read. [126 words] [Relationships] By My Soul (Songs) This is a song I wrote about being swept away by the girl of my dreams... only a dream though.

Castles Eric Richards
I don�t want to say
What I feel
It�s too late tonight
Silence isn�t our enemy
Just a place to heal
I can forgive anything
when I look into your eyes
Well, the weight of trust
It�s heavy on these lies
Keeps us from falling down
But leaves me empty inside
I�m feeling lost in here
Everything just brings me down
Still I feel you standing there
Everytime I turn around
We place these castles on the wall
Never thought they�d crumble
Never thought they�d fall
Nothing�s ever as it seems
But it was better than nothing at all
I took this all in stride
Just a memory I could forget
Living just enough
To forget how to die
I should�ve yelled
Should�ve screamed aloud
But holding it all in
Couldn�t fill me with doubt
Time to take her home
Feel the fear in my eyes
Cold air fills the space
I thought would never die
And all I can think about
As the days go by
You never looked more beautiful
Then the day we said goodbye
We place these castles on the wall
Never thought they�d crumble
Never thought they�d fall
Nothing�s ever as it seems
But it was better than nothing at all
I know this is my fault
I never thought I�d stumble
Never thought I�d fall
You were never as you seemed
You were everything after all
