PAIN OF MEMORY

Time has passed still pain remains

Its ghostly shadow

Just as sharp as the knife before

My heart once whole

Now lays shattered

A love destroyed

Here I lay

Awake

Sorrow has from me my sleep taken

Alone for my soul has no companion

Broken for I have fallen

From great heights I did tumble

I am low

More than the great canyon is deep

My loneliness is dark

I have retreated

Deep into the darkness of my mind

Slapped on a mask

That makes life almost bearable

Hiding away from the pain

It swells deep within me

Finding my every hiding place

Haunting me with memories of old
