Memories of You
I saw you in the hallway,now knives are shredding my heart.
I thought of you this morning.
I'm still being ripped apart.
In times of grief and misery,
they say tears fall like rain.
But I will tell you another thing--
blood does just the same.
I swear, I think I'm dying;
drowning in memories of you.
And every time my soul screams for help,
there's nothing anyone but you can do.
Can't you see me fading?
Can't you see my agonized eyes,
or have I hidden myself more than
even you could ever realize?
I miss the way you protected me
and when I needed you, you'd always know.
But in the end you left me to suffer
from the harshest of any blow.
I swear, I think I'm dying;
drowning in memories of you.
And every time my soul screams for help,
there's nothing anyone but you can do.
I've cried over you for far too long,
but the pain never seems to end.
You left me alone and you shattered my heart,
and now there's too much missing to mend.
You took a part of me with you,
whether you realize it or not.
And I know you never meant to cause this,
but your damage to me won't stop.
Because every time I see your face,
I feel like a royal fool.
It's been so long and yet I find,
I'm drowning in memories of you.
