Haunted Memories
The cold wind blows against two warm hearts
Leading one heart astray, the other one broken
Don't ask the reason why
As answers echo a truth unspoken
Where once there was a beautiful garden
bursting into life
Now lies barren ground cold
and heavy with strife
Dreams escaping into thin air
like clouds passing in the sky
Reaching to hold them captive
By never saying goodbye
The wounded spirit floats in circles round
upon her wings
Carrying heaviness in her heart
to the pain that she brings
Forever jaded by seeing love feign
through a stained glass windowpane
Pray one day a sweetened breeze
Comes and calms these haunted memories
