The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Still Trapped

Trapped in this house
Where memories are scattered
Trying to remember when
Love was all that mattered
Savagely fighting off
A love I should hold dear
While trying to block out
Your accusations in my ear
How can I move on if
Our past still haunts me?
How can I be rid of you?
Will I ever be free?
When this irrational fear
Pushes my only chance away
I am left alone
To face the end of the day
I'm losing control
Of the guilt I held inside
Being drowned by all the
Tears I never cried.
I'd ask for one more chance
But I'd mess up again
I'm destined to be alone
Until only God knows when
Love has deserted me
And all the fault is mine
I don't know how to stop 
Pretending everything is fine
