When everything is out of sight, it makes it so damn easier
Except for the memories that fester inside the brain 
like a leech attached to skin
puncturing, idle
quick to stay, never to leave 
How do you live with the constant draining of life 
As the memories suck the life out of you 
Making it harder and harder to want to move on?
Where is the antidote
To make the draining stop
Where is the antidote 
To fix a broken heart
