Drowning In Your Memory

Scattered thoughts and a weary heart lead me astray,
In a world of dead ends, it's hard not to lose my way.
Twisted, tangled thoughts in my head,
The face of my truth disguised by fear and dread.
I run from my pain, at every turn I find you,
Your memory haunts in a race I run to lose.
Stars shine, planets a line, I am lost in a moment,
Try to change, rearrange, to get you off my mind.

Like a shot in the dark, you have left your mark.
To free myself of you is impossible to do.
Emotions pour down like rain, never free from the pain.
I'm drowning in your memory.

To be broken would be a blessing over the state I am in,
The wear and tear of my struggles have worn me thin.
How much must I endure before I break?
Pieces of me scattered in your wake.
The cracks deep within slowly begin to show,
The pain you left behind is worse than you'll know.
My walls are gone, destroyed from the inside out,
Love and happiness replaced by sorrow and self-doubt.

Like a shot in the dark, you have left your mark.
To free myself of you is impossible to do.
Emotions pour down like rain, never free from the pain.
I'm drowning in your memory.


"My soul is weary with sorrow; strengthen me according to your word."
-Psalm 119:28
