Lifelong
Woven into my hair the taste of smoke,
an unnerving scent that just hangs around;
I’m never far from this forgotten song
with lyrics in my head I start to choke,
unable to breathe I fall to the ground;
Fighting so hard but now I can’t be strong;
Salty tears and a crying kiss goodbye
still I am instantly moved by the sound;
I bled too much and learned you were lifelong;
Can’t escape you no matter how I try
for long.
