Come Back

Heartache without medicine,
Tell me you remember,
I'll gladly go to hell for my sin,
Just tell me about before November.
Memories, don't come back.

Photos of us still stuck on my wall,
I look at you for too long and cry,
Do you not love me at all?
I don't love you nor miss you: lie.
Memories, don't come back.

Your smile lit by the fireworks,
Blue eyes sparkle and crease,
Soft dimples are what lurks,
Is my happiness on a lease?
Memories, don't come back.

How we sneaked glances,
Why are you the first and last-
On my mind? My heart dances.
Need to get rid fast.
Memories, don't come back.

You seem more happy now,
I don't hate you, or him,
I'll save you and the row,
In an empty church, my hymn.
Memories, don't come back.

Why do I remember everything?
Let me move on.
Why do you remember nothing?
All of the past is gone.
Memories, don't come back.

Not your fault, all mine,
How you're parents hate me,
The car didn't stay within the line,
Your blood wasn't meant to be.
Memories, don't come back.

Waking up confused, and lost too,
Blank. I'll never forget.
Parents hugs you knew,
Doctors words repay my ugly debt:
"Memories don't come back."
