Twisted Memories

We can only run so fast

But the memories always last

They chase and follow

Then leave us hollow

Through every twist and turn

They sizzle in a slow burn

Swallow us like a dark mist

Choke us with their vengeful fist

They haunt us over the years

Make us shed sorrowed tears

We can’t escape these

Twisted Memories




Your death still haunts my mind

But I keep it where none can find

A dark tinge on my soul

I can never be whole

Trapped inside perpetual night

Swallowed away from the light

Part of me died with you

You meant more to me than you knew

With a bang I began to drown

My smile has turned into a frown

I can’t escape these

Twisted Memories
