Memories


Let the water pour down my face

Let me come out pure and uncontaminated

Free me from my hatred 

Of those painful memories

Burning the feelings of agony into my mind

No I am not fine

I am hiding in a forest of regrets

Never being able to forget

Those moments 

With him,

With her,

With you

Those memories will cut through

My sensitive skin 

Let the blood pour out from within

Let me scream out my apologies

Those memories are all I have

Leading me down a broken path 

With all my bad history

Just let me take this bath 

To abandon the misery
