Pictures To Burn

Memories have scarred my mind
Thoughts been embossed on my dreams
I could never forget you
Or so it seemed.

Pictures in my mind
Pictures to burn.
Once I did
But no longer do I yearn.

These images I see
Once filled me with joy.
But no more -
My sanity it has destroyed.

Pictures of you
Pictures to burn
It was a difficult lesson
I was forced to learn.

My dreams
Were once comforting
But now they frighten me -
They are haunting.

Pictures of love
Pictures to burn
I've erased my memories
Soon it'll be your turn.

You'll become
Nothing to me
Nothing but
A bad memory.

Pictures in my mind
Pictures of you
Pictures of love
My thinking is now through...
