Letting Go

By Kevin Robey July 15, 2014 I wanted you to know Identities and stares I'm scared that it will show Don't know why I even care This haunting ghost of you Still printed on my face Identity erased into shades of blue For me and you to shun my grace Now I'm erased with every breath I gave Again and again I say, just bring the end of days Take away the roads ahead they never paved No final wave, I dissipate into the words I'll never say Cascade upon me eternal seas of memories The trees were a crutch on which I used to stand Waves Fan out the doubt that I don't want to see So please free my eyes from the safety of your hand Cosmic radiation from the stars of meant-to-be's The sea that I still breathe when we all build the pyre Smiles all around; cause none of this was free These memories have yet to be, as I start to build the fire [Listening to "Fake Angels" by Lovedrug]
