Have you ever been trapped within memories? |
Tall and dark and ominous The perfect place to hide The walls were built when my heart broke And trapped me deep inside Few windows were transparent Few rays of sun shone through Your picture plastered all the walls Reminded me of you I'd shut my eyes but still I'd see Your face, your arms, your hair These visions never set me free I never ceased to care Of loneliness I forged a rope And climbed, in haste, up high And setting foot onto the top Bid those four walls goodbye But soon, rope broke, and fast I fell And hit the bottom hard I laid there, broken, battered, bruised Saddened, scared, and scarred Then one day my rescue came I finally was set free He kissed away my fears and tears I'd thought I'd found the key As suddenly as rescue came Rescue turned away He changed his mind and feelings On a cold December day I had gathered all my courage All the strength I had inside I stood there cold and weeping Wanting nothing but to hide What does fate, or God, or destiny Desire me to do? What lesson have I yet to learn? Which assumption will prove true? Now I'm craving comfort A familiar place to rest I close my eyes, I realize I love what I detest So slowly, surely, I retreat Down bright and narrow halls I gaze about with hazy eyes And recognize the walls |
