Memories haunt me
I feel her all the time
Just everywhere I go
There is no place to hide
I see her slender silhouette
Playing hide and seek
I see her face so often
I no longer think she's real
I sometimes feel her touch
In the pouring rain
And in the restless nights
When I struggle to sleep
I feel the soft touch of her lips
I close my eyes and feel her warmth
But it's all just vile torment
Just things I'll never have
The sweetness of her lips
The brightness of her smile
The warmth of her embrace
Thoughts I have to banish
To the void with due haste
Thoughts that would consume me
And everything that could be
Thoughts I can no longer bear
For now I know for sure
She will never be here
Or mine ever again
Ever so slowly I turn to stone
Just to die without hope
I'm already spent
My skin is gray
My back is bent
The burden is taking it's toll
My eyes are red yet dry
There's nothing left to try
No more tears to cry
When all is said and done
I'm always all alone.
