Brokenhearted Memory
You are a memory
A reminder of a time that once meant something to me
When it all ended, I thought I would be okay, but this time was different
The pain creeped into my heart in an instant
Wanted to rip the beating organ out of my body
While crying to myself and whispering that I was sorry
I was making amends with a ghost
I think that's the part that hurt the most
Thinking back to all the times before
Where I acted less and thought more
But that was then
Now the only thing that remembers you is this pen
It's funny how quickly good things end
One moment you're the happiest person in the world, now you're writing leterrs that you'll never send
But now I'm exhausted
Do you know how much emotions it costed
For me to fight the urge to pick up the phone and call?
For me to tear down your pictures from the wall?
You severed the ties
But I was the one believing in those sweet little lies
Thinking that there was still a chance
That there was more to our dance
Maybe this wasn't the finale
Maybe this wasn't the final tally
To mark the end of our chapter
Maybe there's such a thing as a happily ever after
But I was wrong
You're no longer my favorite song
Your name is no longer my favorite word
All traces of your face has become blurred
I guess this is it
My hand feels empty as now there's a space where only your hand could fit
Once a lover
Now a stranger whose face belongs to another
Nameless memory
This is how it will be
Because every reminder of you, is the death of me
