Except For The Memories

-Except For The Memories-
by Keaton Foster



Except
For the
Memories
What once was
Will never again
Be
You are gone
And we are done
I remain here
Alone is this place
That you and I built
A home for our dreams
Turned into a prison
Of my nightmares
Like this place
I am a shell
Of my former self
Like this place
I am falling apart
Caving in
Upon myself
And all that I
Once held dear
Without you
There is nothing
Because of you
There is the same
I’d prefer death
But I’m too busy
Wondering to myself
How’d it all go wrong
Where did I fail you
As well as myself
At what point
Did I break the bind
Of our love
A love that was once
So well defined
A love that all others
Wished upon themselves
How could I
Have destroyed
That which seemed
Indestructible
I just don’t know
And until I do
I fear I’ll remain here
In certain torment
In absolute pain
Having nothing
Except
For the
Memories
They offer little relief
They offer me no escape
I must face what I’ve done
And what we have lost
I don’t know where
And why it all went wrong
And I swear until I do
I’ll remain tormented
By all that I have lost
And what now remains…
