Fast Heart, Slow Future

Speeding through the memories, shadows that last

Echoes of a whisper, racing too fast

Thought I had it all figured, racing with the wind

Now I see the broken pieces, scattered deep within

Times I pushed too hard, burned bridges on the fly

Now I drown in the silence, asking why

Lost in the reflections, falling through the cracks

Chasing what I’ve missed, slipping through my grasp

I let my heart go too fast, now I look into the past

Wishing I could turn, undo what didn’t last

Every beat was reckless, now I understand

Slow down the memories, hold them in my hand

Fading photographs, stories left untold

Lessons in the darkness, silver and gold

Can’t run from the echoes, shadows grow vast

Learning to forgive, learning at last

Heart still beats but softer, lessons that will last

Moving forward gently, healing from the past
