Broken Memories

You once melted my heart, my soul, and me
With your words,
So soft, so pure
But I perceived it all wrong
For what you believe is what you perceive
And I believed something that you did not.
Your words reverberate in my thoughts,
I shiver and try to hold them
I dwell on the memories we made.
Moments so precious,
They froze and turned into our beautiful past.
It’s only now that I try to burn them
And wish they were never made,
Cuz when I try to hold them,
They slither away like sand from my fingers.

It’s the beauty of the past that haunts my soul,
Your words still move me deep down,
And I make myself believe they were true.
Memories, I wish now could not have ever existed,
Cuz the more good they were, the more they cause the pain.
I feel everything inside me mocking me for being a fool.
For I cannot relive what has gone,
And for I cannot consume it was all false.

Tears do not exist anymore, for they have been used more than they were,
My heart tries to be cold,
And I try to protect it with all I have.
But all it takes is one piece of the broken memories to melt it and
Burn it down.
