Plagued by Memories
I am plagued by memories
My eyes have seen things I will never un-see
I am plagued by thoughts that my mind continually harbors
Stuck in my mind, a prisoner in her quarters
I’m outside looking in
The farmer should’ve kept the healthy hen
But he let her run away
So I am plagued by memories
The person I used to be
I should’ve kept who I was
But I had to go and mess it up
I cut my own brakes
Now I go and make every mistake
I have done and said things that I can never take back
I put the own knife in my back
I am reminded of who I was
Would it be better if I was always like this?
Would it be better if I had nothing to miss?
But alas, I am plagued by memories
