| Illusion Oh beautiful memory of the day we wed. Our lips met with passion, And we sewed our hearts together for eternity. Hand in hand we entered a new life, Leaving the past behind... You promised to be with me for all time. You promised to care, to feel, to be with me. How could you break my heart, my soul, my beliefs... Oh beautiful memory, you seem so close now, So close I can almost reach you, Just a little more, And I can drown myself in you for eternity. If I could only reach, I wouldn't have to feel, I wouldn't have to be alone, And I wouldn't have to leave just to stop the pain. If I could only reach, I wouldn't have to listen as my life pours out of me. I wouldn't have to feel my eyes closing. I wouldn't have to sit in the clarity And take one last look at my empty house, Mutilated wrists, and reach for a memory. ~ Silence ~ |
