Memories (song)

Written today, and finished a few minutes ago. Unlike most things, this was written with no particular person in mind.

Red and ebony black swirling in my mind
Waves from a stormy sea threaten to consume
I can feel that I’m running out of time
I know the end is coming soon

You left me here alone to die
Uncaring if I never breathe again
I won’t let go, I have to try
Struggling to the surface to feel the wind

These memories still haunt me
Your presence still torments me
Will I ever be set free
From these lingering memories?

These memories still call to me
I still see your face before me
Can anyone ever save me
From these everlasting memories?

My traitorous heart keeps me from feeling
I’m trapped in this eternal hell
A muted world, you can’t hear my screaming
Yet I hear the tolling of the bell

I search the mirror for a distant light
For something to save me from myself
All I see is the black of night
And the remains of my heart on an abandoned shelf

These memories still haunt me
Your presence still torments me
Will I ever be set free
From these lingering memories?

These memories still call to me
I still see your face before me
Can anyone ever save me
From these everlasting memories?
