The memories keep reaching out...
Trying to lead me astray.
I have to retain my resolve.
Stifling tears, I have to just push them away...
-
Once upon a time
You were my everything...
My peace and solace
Only you could bring...
-
You would bring me paradise.
When you looked me in my eyes...
I had to roll a pair of dice
Just to escape there with my life...
-
The memories keep reaching out...
They love me more than she did.
The silence that lingers beseeches the doubts
It keeps haunting me, left undefeated.
-
Once upon a time
I would have died right next to you...
I would have died happily serving you selflessly
Effortless, nothing I wouldn't just do...
-
I was brought to my knees
Doing all that you'd please
Living soullessly
Chipping away what was me...
-
The memories keep reaching out...
Far more than her words ever could.
I buried the worst of us under that last sheet of paper.
Journaled it into the wood.
