Memory Night
a new door has open
a new hope has risen
as i lay here, staring up at the stars, i start to realize
my star is looking a little brighter, the sky, a little less gray
a weight has been lifted, an emptiness has been filled
the wind is calling me, whispering, playing words to my ear
i take in all that it has to give me, i take in everything i see
i listen to all that is spoken and i let the words bleed
as they seep from me, memories of you pour out of me
cleansing me, relieveing me, i dont understand, i dont try
i let my defenses cave, as i fall into my grave
embraced by twilight, held by night
i look for something to hold on to, only to find nothing in sight
kneeling in the dewy grass, i rase my eyes to search
to search for your face, i raise my hand to feel your embrace
slipping through my fingers, falling from my clasp
i drop to my knees, face in my hands, why have you forgotten me
