A memory as dark as the blackest midnight hour
Burning clear as day inside this head
Forces tears to flood over closed eyeslids and blackened eyelashes
Streaking the face with this memory.
Reminders of you carved deep into this tattered body
Your torture displayed in self-inflicted wounds
Veins formally run dry begin to bleed once more
As your image fills my mind.
A simple mistake or carefully planned action
Never-the-less gave me reason to expect continued dishonesty
Resulting in inches becoming miles between us
Your hand too far to grasp my own.
Crying out so silently as I feel again your sharp smile
Your kiss a cancer that spread to my lungs
And as I gasp for breath in my solitary dwelling
The thought of you obviously more real than my reality.
A memory so dark it shades a heart once so bright
As color fades like my obsession to our tainted fairytale
Black tears and loud silences challenge my strength
As my weak soul falls victim to your painful memory.
