The Graveyard of Our Memories
CC BY-NDMy mind draws a blank now, for six months of my life now a memory of what once was
Your love for me now gone, yet mine still living in the graveyard of your promises
All the I love yous, which once meant everything to me
Now a hollow word in your voice, carrying through my mind
My love grows like a weed you can't ever seem to get rid of,
You can under water me, or drawn me, step on me, or pluck me away
Yet tomorrow I grow once more
All the petals that my weed stretches out, leans to your light, your voice, your soft-spoken words
Now only existing within that graveyard
You can try all you want to push me away
But my mind is forever in the remanence of our memories.
