Memories Of You

Even though you're gone
my memories of you keep you near
the pain I put you through torturing my mind
it's all so clear in my cloudy mind
can't seem to forget your sad eyes watching me
I'm alone in my loneliness
you are never near when I need you
but you have my hand when I can't look you in the eye
-----
Please take these memories
I'm afraid my heart will cease to beat
if I have to remember
your sad eyes one more time
I never meant to stab you in the back
he never meant what you will always be to me
an unfortunate slip
leaving me cold and forsaken
-----
Hopeless I try to clear my mind
the memory of your eyes swimming with pain
rips through my heart tearing it in two
my lips part to scream your name
but you cannot hear me when all that comes out is air
my entire being aches with silent apologies that you will never hear
your hand slips from mine leaving my fingers cold
all these memories of you I will never forget
