Black Memories

Failing between this broken silence,
I am captive in the moment of despair.
You told me you loved me one day,
Drowning, I was lost when you were never there.
But between the shades of gray,
there was something in your eyes.
It was distortion and hate,
The inner hope of lies.
You are the disaster,
The victim to a dying past.
hanging by a thread so thin,
Your heart it could not last.
We are two strangers now
so lost and forgotten inside
the day you tore me apart
is a day that cannot hide.
And so long as the photographs stay
Memories of us cant die.
But now they are burning in my hands
Theres no reason to ask why.
