Nothing But A Memory


Growing up Hearing the words of those closest Saying Life is Great From a young age some, well I began to question Its seems these days No matter what happens or What I do Nothing rids me of the memory In your Vows you said you loved us did you really do you even know what love is You can say what want I stopped hearing you a long time ago When I think of you I think of what you Not only did to her but did to me Its not some short memory that we will forget There are daily reminders of what you did Somedays drag out like it'll never end Like reliving the memory That reminds me that is all you will ever be to me I have a father now He is the best thing that happened to mom and I He provides us with more that you ever could and ever will What do ask? Do I refer to you as my dad? No Not now Not ever Your worthless to me I don't know where you are or really who you are but I do know your nothing but the the worst MEMORY of my life A memory that made me stronger A memory that made me who I am today A memory that make me want to strive for better To make myself a better person And show bad things can happen to us but we have to do the best we can with what we are given.
