SILENCE

Silence moving in on me

Loud, so loud I can not sleep

Drifting in and out of dream

Afraid to be

You are just a memory

Lost my head now I can't see

Want to bring you back to me

Afraid to leave

And I

I saw those tears you cried

Left you there to die

Wouldn't even try to save you

And I

I'm angry on the inside

Tears stream down from my eyes

As I see me walk away

And you

You watch me as I say goodbye

Try to tempt me with your lies

But I can't hear what you say

And I

Hear it all around me

Loud, so loud I can not sleep

Drifting in and out of dream

Afraid to be

The silence is sure to turn me

Burn me

Make me feel alone and why

Your memory it keeps

Loud, so loud I can not sleep

Memories are hard, sometimes you forget the ones you want to keep and sometimes you remember those you want to let go.  They can interrupt your life at the most awkward moments, completely ruining your day or making it brighter.  But one thing about our memory is that it shapes us and every person we know and talk to shapes us.  We are who we are because of things important enough for us to remember.  Something so insignificant at the time could be the cornerstone of our entire future.
