Memories

Sometimes I feel like I can't even breathe,
when certain thoughts and memories come up,
it just makes me want to run away and cry,
but then I remember I have to keep my head up high.

I start to shake and tremble uncontrollably,
when I think of your soft skin next to mine,
I try day and night to shake the thoughts away,
but no matter what they always come back to mind.

As my mind starts to twist and turn and spin,
it makes me think I want to end my life,
the thoughts and memories just seem to much,
but then I remember its not worth dying for.

I have been through too much heartache in my life,
it makes it almost impossible to fall in love again,
I just can't seem to get rid of all the hurt and pain,
so please just take all these memories away.
