Swept Away

Swept Away

Don�t visit me in my dreams
Misguided ghost of my past
Hunting me of its threat
Of living a life of solitude
None of it was ever worth it
The risks I�ve taken without having
Go now and be gone

I was obliviously happy before you came along
Not having to worry of what may come
Now I�m just another living dead
Hunted by something that now only exists in my memory
Reaching far beyond what my sight allows me
Because I know now that I can never be me

A love frozen in the depths of time
One day will melt but the feelings won�t die
No! I cannot be left untreated in this dreadful place
It makes me nostalgic even as I sleep
With tacit words unknown to all mankind
He was like the infection to the sore-the insult to the injury

A box that I have buried away so cautiously
Tucked inside the shadow that looms over me
I find myself nowhere in this world
I need to stop hanging on to what went before
Although I know that I can never cease these tears
Someday soon it will disappear
And only then will I say
Why did you have to go when you weren�t even there?
