an echo

an echo
is a lonely thing
its just a mirror to another
its not an answer
its a repeat
its attractive to the victim
who thinks its an agreement
but its just fake
an echo is fine in the outdoors
where nature makes it so
as it bounces off and disappears
and has no power
but an echo to the heart or soul
an illusion of self
and on purpose to betray
is a lie with a thief behind it
predator and prey
its not pretty or real
and in time is found to be nothing-
as that is all it is
sad thing the echo
empty soul
empty heart
delivering emptiness
tearing someone real apart;

Emptiness and lonliness...2 things we can do without, excellently expressed WINHA wine

WINHA, this analogy of sound to past is a lament of strong words. i respectfully disagree that memories echos are "a thief behind it
predator and prey", though the perception is understood. It is, i think, how the memory is viewed by us, that makes it have power to keep us in the past, as opposed to being a warm memory of a time past, or perhaps a reminder of a lesson, hard learned. Nice poem. ;-)
