Memories
In my past life we were perfect together
Our love flowed freely from vein to vein
But I began to see that you were in love with my reflection
Everything that you wanted me to be,
But not at all who I was.
Sadness took me over, my soul diminished
All the happiness faded into dark clouds
You painted me black.
Then again it couldn't have been that bad
For I stayed in your arms needing your lying embrace
Giving my all to hear you loved me, even if it was a lie.
I needed you to see myself through,
You took advantage, and I let you.
But those are memories now
For I have found my pieces.
Slowly they're put into place
One day I'll sit here, a beautiful blossom...whole again!
