Shards of Solace

Shards of solace
The aftermath of heartbreak
Putting it back together

The comfort of a touch
Lingering on what had been
The afterglow of the memories

A spell was broken
So many lessons were learned
And in their wake, regret

Welcome to changes
Gather yourself, my friend, caution now
Pride and vanity have no place here

It's long past tallying
the missed opportunities
There'll be time enough to pick up the pieces

Shards of Solace, a playlist

A soundtrack for this note (spotify version)

• Lessons by Eric Roberson
  To be a soul man in this era is almost anachronistic, the temptations, and distractions, are many so it's always refreshing to have a musician commit to the form. All this to say that Eric Roberson's Lessons album is the what I need this year.
• I Loved And I Lost by The Impressions
• Why Have I Lost You by Cameo
• How Can You Mend A Broken Heart by Al Green
• Lessons by Eric Roberson (ft. Anthony Hamilton, Raheem DeVaughn & Kevin Ross)
