The shadows of your memory When you held your hand in mine Shimmering in infatuation beneath the stars Of thought, of all the time in the world Did my sordid heart confuse this distance for failure? That could be the only reason why Disinterest and isolation, obssession and wonder Nothingness and void, which take precedence over all It came back to you Compelled by false memories, by obssessions Created in morbid darkness When your hand brushed mine Quaked by unsettling paranoia, of tremors deep Within my soul Erupting into finality, into a lonesome abyss Like so many times before Gazing in the distance, a twisting horror An obssession upheld by a shivering heart The tidings of fate shall not grace me here My memories will serve no lesson again here And what means something shall soon fade But you can never truly perish from my breast I cannot recognise who I was from before The shadows of your memory When you held your hand in mine Shimmering in infatuation beneath the stars Of thought, of all the time in the world Did my sordid heart confuse this distance for failure? That could be the only reason why It came back to you Compelled by false memories, by obssessions Created in morbid darkness When your hand brushed mine Unable to breathe, a conduit for all my pain Unable to release, remaining stagnant Even now, my dreams remain infested with your presence I wish this dark love would end
