Between Memory
Tinsel-town corruption, comes swirling round my knees.
I’m looking for the answers while your looking down at me.
I try to warm my spirit with the sugar on your lips,
hoping you feel something too when I see your fingers slip.
Race down the strawberry fields, you can see it in your mind.
Separate from reality, and cut the ties that bind.
Your scent still lingers on my clothes, I don’t want it to wash out.
If only you could hear my thoughts, silent as I shout.
Your salty essence on my tongue, I taste it in my sleep.
I cant help holding on to forever, when it’s what I want to keep.
Sand is falling between my toes but I cant feel the grain,
I close my eyes to search for comfort but the pain feels all the same.
When you told me it was over, my walls came crumbling down.
You could have said it a million times, but I couldn’t hear a sound.
I tripped on cords that you left begotten, lying torn like me.
My eyes were clouded with water blood, so nothing could be seen.
Fragmented glass lay broken under my painted pink nails,
You said we could still be friends, that was if all else failed.
Sitting by the ocean, if only miles away, dreaming of the past.
You would sweep me away, but that’s when I thought it would last.
Still I don’t lie broken, only a smile creeps at your name.
Even if you thought we’d changed, my heart still beats the same.
don’t say we had our last dance, and that you cant retrieve that love.
I like to think there’s still a chance, and that’s not all I’m dreaming of.
