I've a Library full of Memories

September 18, 2018

I've a library full of memories

With a key for every one

Play the key watch me lose

My senses into the sun

The moments of silence

And I walk among the shelves

Wandering these lost times

I can hurt or cure myself

The first few notes begin to play

My heart begins to race

I redden as she looks at me

With a smile on her face

Across the table from me

With ice cream in her hand

Two years and I still miss her;

But she's no longer my best friend

The first verse rings in my ear

Before it's even there

I see the Pennsylvania hills

And feel the humid air

Listening to my music

Gazing through the window a lot

Hours I'm stuffed in the car

Listening to my thoughts

Now the bridge has come

Walking away from my home

Tears are in my mother's eyes

As she sees how far we've grown

It's my first year of middle school

And I'm a nervous wreck

The future is so cloudy

I don't know what to expect

The tempo builds and he is there

My first ans closest friend

We play together in the sandbox

But our bond was soon to end

It's the last base drop

And the winter's a sharp chill

I have a sled under my arm

As I look far down Cobb's Hill

The final keys are struck

My hand balls into a fist

As I feel the rushing anger

And see the blood on my wrist

Only a few more seconds

The song is almost done

I feel the breeze as I bike

Under the scarlet sun
