Why Can't I

Yesterday was a blue day,

When I saw your face next to his.

I wish that I could erase that memory.

But your gift, from the heavens above,

Has left me with scars,

That dig deeper and deeper, again.

The whole world stops when,

I see you walk my way.

Chills run up and down my spine.

But why can't I wash away,

The memory of seeing your face?

Why can't I tear away,

This curse that lives within?

I walk down the halls of shame,

Just to hear your voice.

But why can't I walk away?

I wish I could just stay away.

Your voice rains throughout my head,

Repeating the small words that were said.

Echoing left and right, again.

Your laugh is that of angels,

With a sweet little ring behind it.

Day to day, I try to start it again.

But why can't I wash away,

The memory of seeing your face?

Why can't I tear away,

This curse that lives within?

I walk down the halls of shame,

Just to hear your voice.

But why can't I walk away?

I wish I could just stay away.

But why can't I?
