Memory of a Once Was

Such fractured lines in all our stars finding ways to stay a little more sane we pull the covers over our faces and drown out all the pain Nothing stays the same and like the tides of the ocean come and go I'll have to say goodbye again and again I never thought I'd see those ghosts drowning out all your words and pulling you under to the places that darken the heart I look for your face in the parting crowd and just like that your gone No parting words just the memory of a once was every thought every breath is a tiring escapade trying to figure out what I did wrong maybe I loved you too much or never enough And I'm writing this letter to send out to sea only hoping someday someone will read our story and hear my voice narrating all the memories in a once was
