ABOUT
THE AUTHOR
I started writing songs and poems about 2 years ago, and I will admit, most of them sucked. After a while, I lost inspiration and had so much going on and just stopped writing. I have finally recently gotten back to writing, and at first, what inspired me was illness and fighting through and I started writing about it. Now I think I'm getting better at writing, and will start posting new ones soon. [September 2010]

Lost Glow Erica Young
Verse 1:
I may lose something so great—Everything—if I lose sight of you.
If you go away from all reach, the light that
leads me on and makes this true, will die out.
There will be a lost glow if I can no longer look into your eyes.
I believe in you, and can’t lose it.
I believe in me because you managed to show the way.
You just don’t know... But don’t ever go.
Don’t allow my lost glow.
Chorus:
My eyes were dark and blinded before the sight of you.
Before listening.
Light entered my eyes, seeing and hearing your glow
I can never go back to my nothing, so stay in sight.
Stay and keep your glow.
I don’t want a lost glow.
Verse 2:
Never let yourself be taken.
My heart stays beside you through what you don’t yet know.
Your glow shows inside-out and it’s all I see.
All I see and hear in you is the brightest light in my life.
Every dream lies in your heart where my glow is.
Don’t let it disappear.
You hold all of me, but don’t even know.
My heart cries out for you to know.
Waiting hurts, so all I can do is hope and pray
for you to hold on and don’t lose it.
Never let my lost glow.
Chorus
Verse 3:
I still can’t comprehend how I really felt before you.
How I survived with so much darkness in my life.
No light in my eyes.
Little meaning for everyday.
I can only thank you for changing so much,
but you can’t understand all you’ve done.
You don’t see or hear these words—Yet.
I hold onto the light you’ve given and pray for the reason to be revealed.
How could someone so far touch so close?
Your glow entered my life.
Now I can never lose you if I want to keep everything.
Just wait and we may both see soon.
Chorus
I must stop my patience from growing short,
as I wait and can only hold onto your glow.
Everything I see and hear in you.
Never allow a lost sight of you.
Don’t let yourself go.
Don’t give me a lost glow…
