Memory Lane

I used to remember everything that was you
but now confused and alone
that part of me rips free

~
Memories of us
worn and yellow like the pages in my diary
turn to dust

~
Hidden back in the farthest corner of my mind
whispers filled with warmth turn to ice
echoing all around me

~
Reminding me of my heart
now cold and sober
I really need to go

~
I want to take a drive down memory lane
but something holds me back
there is a road block in my way

~
You've been the very best thing
that has happened to me
in this whole world

~
I'm forgetting the way
you used to smile with your eyes
I'm not going to lie

~
I miss the way you used to hold me close
but my memories are leaving
flying away like a blue bird spreading its wings

~
Dawn comes upon me brightening my day
scaring away the hateful shadows
but I cannot hear your voice

~
I want to take a drive down memory lane
but something holds me back
there is a road block in my way

~
Your blue eyes are but a distant memory
like the song of a blue bird
shut your eyes and try to catch the fading notes

~
I really must go now
your memory is really nothing now
simply an icicle in 80 degree weather

~
All I want you to understand
is that I've been trying to say one word
this entire time

~
I'll whisper it so you won't have to wake
and hear the pain in my voice
slowly I part my lips and breathe

“Goodbye”
