Each song I share here is more than sound — it's a mirror.
Music speaks to the places in me words alone can’t touch.
These reflections are my way of feeling deeper, asking why, and connecting what I hear to what I carry.
Let’s go inward together — emotionally, spiritually, soulfully.
I saw a picture yesterday
You know the one we were laughing in the rain
Remember how it used to be
Remember you were still in love with me
But you turned away
And I start to cry
I'm lost without your love
And I won't survive
Don't leave me
Alone tonight
I'm lost without your love
And I won't survive
Don't leave me
Cause I won't survive
I'm lost without your love
And I won't survive
I can't believe that we are through
Is it someone else
Have you found somebody new
Cause I die inside
Every time I close my eyes
And imagine myself living without you
But you turned away
And I start to cry
I'm lost without your love
And I won't survive
Don't leave me
Alone tonight
I'm lost without your love
And I won't survive
SONG REFLECTION:
A Cry From My Inner Child I Can No Longer Ignore
"Don't leave me
Alone tonight
I'm lost without your love
And I won't survive . . ."
For most people, this song sounds like heartbreak.
A plea to a lover.
A desperate call to not be abandoned.
But for me, it’s never been about someone else.
This song is a reflection of me—
And more specifically, my inner child.
The one I ignored.
The one I silenced.
The one I blamed when I didn’t understand my pain.
"I saw a picture yesterday
You know the one we were laughing in the rain . . ."
That line broke something open in me.
Because for a long time, I’d forgotten the version of me that used to laugh freely.
The one who felt things deeply, purely, wildly.
The one who got buried under shame, survival, people-pleasing, and pretending.
"Remember how it used to be
Remember you were still in love with me. . ."
My inner child never stopped calling out to me.
Even when I turned away.
Even when I drowned her voice in distractions and noise.
This song isn’t about longing for someone else’s love.
It’s about reclaiming my own.
Answering the plea I’ve ignored for too long:
“Don’t leave me.”
"Cause I die inside
Every time I close my eyes
And imagine myself living without you. . ."
The truth is, I was dying inside.
Because I was living without me.
Without my truth. Without my softness. Without the little girl inside who just wanted to be held, seen, and told she was enough.
I’ve flipped the frequency.
That’s how I heal.
I no longer listen to songs on the surface.
I drop in.
I let the music be a mirror.
A portal to the parts of me that still ache, still hope, still cry out.
"I'm lost without your love . . . and I won't survive."
Now I hear those lyrics and I hold her close.
I remind her:
I’m here now. I’m not leaving. You are safe. You are seen. You are so deeply loved.
This reflection is part of a lifelong promise to never abandon myself again.
To honor music as medicine.
To keep flipping the frequency—
Until every echo becomes a homecoming.
SOUL TAKEAWAY:
Sometimes the voice begging us not to leave . . .
isn’t someone else.
It’s the younger version of you—the one who still believes in love, still aches to be held, still waits for your return.
Healing begins the moment we stop searching outside,
and finally choose to come home to ourselves.
REFLECTION PROMPT:
When was the last time you truly listened to your inner child?
What is he or she trying to tell you beneath the noise, the fear, or the grief?
Let the next song that breaks your heart become a conversation with him or her.
What would it sound like if it was your soul singing to you?
If any part of this touched something inside you, I’d love to know.
