By Sophia George When I close my eyes, I see your face
In each and every unsuspecting place you’re haunting my dreams I find you in the darkest nights And in the orange sunrise beams I feel your poison, masked as charm Tastes like sugar in my memory But now I find that it brings me harm If I dwell too much in discovery The empty promises on your lips Torture me in silence Reminders of the ones I used to kiss now fuel my insatiable violence You thought that it was all over When you watched me run away From the grief-stricken, heartbroken lover You claim to be, or so you say But though I am long gone from your presence I know I am never far from your mind You’ll find The only thing that will heal your wounds you got from me Is time And in your head will forever live my poems, my songs and rhymes They will haunt you forevermore When you least expect it When the angry hearth fire roars when the rain tries to make you forget it When the snow that always lands on top Comes to find that in the hot sun It cannot do anything but melt Remember me as the only one Who ever had the horror and pleasure of having you Your kisses, your secrets, your pain Remember me as being the only thing you couldn’t contain The one who got away You can try to run as fast as you can But I am out of reach And the only thing left of me Are my words, my voice, my speech I am safe from your poisoned darts of lies The web you spin I will surmise That you betted on me giving in And now that I have run away free You dwell in vicious anger and wrath But you’ll find you cannot take it out on me Like a melody of nostalgic pain Remember me in the face of winter When you thought you won, And when there comes the sweet spring rain That washes away all that you’ve done When the snow on the mountain top overlooking the sea Is confronted with the fire of a thousand angry sons And that beautiful snow has no choice but to melt I pray that you will remember me Comments are closed.
