Strangers With a Past
We’re strangers with a past,
Something meant to be long and last.
I tried to preserve the memories and the dreams,
But every thing’s not what it seems.
Collapsing with every sound of my heartbeat,
My ultimate downfall, defeat.
I choke down desire like swallowing an open flame,
But who is it here who is to blame?
Murder me kindly,
As I walk around blindly.
Searching for my life,
As you pull out the knife.
Drown me in my sorrow,
But don’t let me wake tomorrow.
I don’t want to be here,
I want out with every passing tear.
I want to engulf all my pride,
Because it’s time to admit to good-bye.
I know I’m not welcome in you world,
You’ve made every fear of mine become unfurled.
