Keep it away from me
Hide it somewhere in the past
Where there's still something left to yearn
Before it all comes crumbling down
Just let me rest my eyes
Just for now....
What I had I never realized
It was the life of me
The air I breathe, the spark inside me
Let it slip through my fingers
Disappear right before my eyes
It wasn't my mind
Ignoring tears on my reflection
Truths unspoken lurking
It wasn't my mind
Suppressing signs of this infection
Spreading like cancer each day
Creeping behind me
Memories of a tale forgotten
A moment so mundane
I can't recall no more
Dormant Inside me
Ash and ruin of a dream discarded
A promise to myself
I could not keep no more
