Memories That Took Over Me

memories lost
memories found 
the mind had become unbound 
 
my strings have become broken 
without one word spoken 

The memories flood my mind 
they flow around I'm out of time can't rewind 

They go straight for the heart 
Start tearing it apart 

It hit my core 
more than anything before

They start eating the last part of me
The part no one not even me could see 
 
I tell myself to just hold on
but I know I will soon be gone 

Falling towards the last sunrise 
I shed my last tears while the sun beams flow in the room
with its lonely gloom 
now forever it is my tomb
