What I did for the

Tue, 11/13/2012 - 20:50 -- viinkim

What I did for the love that you give...

What you went through because of my foolishness

What we accomplished because of hope

My heart of black that you made white

Left me with nothing but the memories

I do not want to keep

Keep the hope, the love, and the memories

Waste your time not on me

Leave my shadowed heart alone

Don’t mock me with your tears

The gaze you give me makes my heart shudder

Though we’ve cried at the end

Our savior didn’t come

The pain that clenches the spirit

Our bodies parted

But our souls are one

Even in time I will not forget

The love you gave me in that short while

The light that shines on me

Reminders of you I see them as I walk

Lonely is the sand I walk on through time

Life goes on without the part of me

I keep turning around thinking you are there

Shadows on my wall are hypnotizing me

Making me think that I can still hope

Even the flowers outside are becoming grey

My eyes in the mirror are black

As being alone in rooms where nobody can hear me yell

I walk to the place where you left me

Tears fall to the ground

A light touch lifts my face

And I see you there in front of me comforting me

Once again you save me…when I wasn’t able to save you

Keep the hope, the love, and the memories

Waste your time not on me

Don’t leave me a corpse with no color

I want to restore the times when we had smiles

Can I follow you into the world you live in now…?
