Slowly, painfully, bitterly
Standing still
Watching their backs
Vanishing in space
Frozen in place
Time passes by
But memories remain
Buried deep within
The hollow chamber
Only to creep out
Time and time again
Time moves on
Seasons change
Yet, the hurt remains
The memories never really fade

People appear
And then disappear
Empty-handed, they arrive
Take a piece of the heart as they depart
Leaving nothing but an empty soul, torn apart
An empty void that can't be filled
There dwell the memories
Buried within, inside the heart

People come and go
Leave footprints behind
That never fade
Time heals
But the scars remain
After the night, the day arrives
Only for the night to return again
It's a cycle that repeats
They leave only to return
Like a whisper in the wind
Like rain after the sun
Buried deep within
The memories resurface
Creeping out
Crawling in the darkness
Haunting the night
Wasting the day
People leave only to return again
As memories
That never fade
The hurt never leaves
The scars remain

People come and leave
Only to steal a piece of the heart
To steal peace from life
Leaving behind a heavy weight
