Memory of Strangers
Innocence smiled in the mirror
But you turned away
Your words laced in cold tears
Linger behind perfumed walls
Ghost-like faces stuck between the sheets
You take the money
Than hide in your pain
A memory of strangers
Whiskey breath
A whisper
Loving you without loving
Carelessly bruised
You weather in loneliness
Than give yourself away
For the day
For the night
For the rest of your life
