When you're younger,
you're everything or so it seems
Then you start becoming a ghost in the years between
People say things about you like

Remember the cul-de-sac nights
cold beer, a cigarette to share
the creak of our old porch swing
smoke curled like chinese dragons in the air
Chorus
The porch light flickers,
But it’s not lit for me anymore.
I know there’s nothing waiting…

Snowflakes falling, soft as candlelight
Silver tinsel sparkles every memory tonight
There’s a record on the player, fire crackling warm and low
And I’m back to when I held you, underneath the mistletoe
City streets are shining, silver…

The Light Still Holds 12-13-25 (c) Nick Torres

Lost some things I can't get back
But the fire's burning bright

The river runs hot and gold the trees leaves blow blue
The birds you’ve never seen nor heard their calls
There’s a party tonight at Weird Valley Falls

Play it loud where you can dance!
Boom Boom Girl (c) Nick Torres 9/25/25
She struts in with a kick
A snap
A spin
Eyes like fire

Only In My Dreams (DRAFT) - (C) Nick Torres 9-15-25

You’re calling out my name
Running in the moonlight

I hold you in my arms
Our hearts beat like lover’s drums…

I closed the door softly, unlike the others before
I loved you once, I think I loved the comfort more
No matter how you try, sometimes it never grows
I’m walking out the door
With the pieces of me you thought…
