Memories Engrained

Screams become louder

And laughing subsides

Hearts become heavier

As death arrives

The innocence of yesterday

Cries out to me now

Can I take it all back?

Someway, somehow?

Nights become colder

But my palm still sweats

My mind keeps spinning

With endless regrets

I try and shake the dreams

That haunt me to this day

I just want him back

I don’t like life this way

Every one tells me

No need to wonder why

But my heart aches

For a simple "goodbye"

A wisp of my memory

I don’t want his face to be

Lord, please let me keep that

Don’t take it from me…
