Memories

The memories of you and I together
Keep coming and going back
Just like a ray of sun in scalding cold weather
The memories keep me alive, keep me intact.
I’m a rainbow of emotions, a web of feelings,
I’m Blue, I’m Yellow, I’m paranoid, I’m euphoric
I’m the source of incessant pain, I’m the process of healing
I’m the tear that expresses, I’m the face that remains stoic.
I’m a pawn in the game of chess,
You direct the motion of my steps
I’m a chunk of iron, yes you’re the magnet
I’m the one bound in chains, fighting to be a free Charlotte.
We used to play the game of hide and seek
Tell me where you’re hiding, ‘cause now I’m scared baby!
People say you’ve gone. Gone away.
I know they’re lying, ‘cause you promised you’ll stay!
Please come back baby, now I’m tired of playing this game
I’m tired of missing you, my hands need a hand to hold
I remember when you had kissed my arm tattooed with your name
“I’ll never leave your hand” is what you had told.
But you left my hand, you left me alone
I woke up from my sleep, and you were gone.
I should’ve known, I should’ve read the signs
I’m so sorry baby, I shouldn’t have let US sublime!
Now I’m in this empty castle, dreaming of you
Though you’re not here, I have memories of us to hold on to
The pillow we once slept upon, is now wet with tears
The heart once full of love is now pierced.
The more I try to breathe, the more I suffocate
The more I try to embrace a love bereft life, the more I hate it
You had in you, a part of me,
You took yourself away, and snatched myself from me
Now you have everything you want, everything you need,
But I..I don’t have you, I don’t have me, just memories.
