Traumatic Legacy

Cold touch instead of body heat
Heart bleeding that was to still
Abandoned hope and hazy dreams
That's all you left me here

The hole I dug - not deep enough
To bury the past that tore me apart
The den I found - not proof enough
To shelter me from bad signals
The house I built - not calm enough
To be back in the world of alive

The memories seem distant
But the longing burns me down again
I wanna snip it but then you appear
And flashbacks start to roll within
Unfinished chapters and stories recall
Traumatic legacy that I must hold

I'll be a thorn in your proud heart
I'll be a flaw in a perfect rock
Your worst nightmare/A gift of the Greek
Far least for all you brought to me

Dead silence instead of smile
Poor act with little, white lies
Unfinished chapters and stories recall
Traumatic legacy that I must hold
