Memory
My memories are few and far between,
like a blur in a long line of faded dreams
Every memory except the one of you leaving
So vivid as you gracefully walk away
My heart can't seem to let you go
although I'm loosing count of the years
It still hurts like it was yesterday
Your silence fills my body
like a match lit in a dark room
My heart raps against my ribs
Beating louder than any drum I've ever heard
I long for it to silence itself
Just like your voice
It only becomes louder
And I am shaking again,
as tears stream down my face
I beg God to make it all fade away
Forgetting you would be beautiful
And the pain of this torture would end
I will never stop praying that I'll forget you
My angel, I will never cease trying
I've erased your name from my writing
but your face still swims throughout the words
I still see you leaving every day.
