Of Memories dec21&22/00
I collected all my thoughts
Together in one place
Examined them closely
Trying to make sense of
These memories of you
Laughing days spent together
Fear attraction loss pain
Growing up and dying
Sweet moments surrounded
By memories of you
And when I had sorted all
The parts and fragments of
All that I remember
I chose what to keep from
My memories of you
I took away the sorrow
Loss, guilt, fear hate and lies
Regrets and stolen dreams
All the painful parts of
The memories of you
But there was not enough left
To fill my empty soul
To plug the gaping wound
To heal the damage done
With memories of you
So I embrace the poison
Hold next to hollow heart
All the truths about us
Feel each tortured spasm
Of memories of you
I hope that you are happy
Knowing you continue
To hurt me every day
There?s nothing I can do
About memories
About you
