Fold Away Memories

Engulfed by the waves of despair 
drowning in the memories of what they once shared
fearful of feelings that came to lay claim 
words uttered in anger of who is to blame

Like a rabbit caught in a snare
empty souls lay there 
trembling waters ripple at the suns caress
like a scorned woman who's soul is laid bare 
the silent breeze against her skin 
where echoes lie dormant of what could have been.

fold away memories clear your mind 
gone is the past leave it behind.
