And as I hold on some more <br />With mementos as what I live for <br />I listen to words in my head <br />They're proof I'm not yet dead <br />Stringing together dark lines <br />While living in those times <br />They just blow my mind away <br />Seems like its been forever <br />And yet… only yesterday <br /> <br />Yea, it hurts to take them out <br />But it temporarily kills your doubt <br />But I'll just lay in my sighs <br />While my body begins to die <br />And I laugh in my awe <br />Because in the shadows I just saw <br />Your sweet face yet again <br />I wonder where you've been... <br /> <br />It's okay to watch them kill it <br />Sure, it's okay to live in shit <br />I'll just hold tight to memories <br />Grasping them ever so tenderly <br />I'm falling into your eyes and lips <br />And I swear, I can almost feel your hips <br />And then I understand, take the pain away <br />But it'll always come back in another day <br /> <br />In all my lost commands <br />I forgot exactly where I stand <br />I wish sacrifice was enough <br />But forgiveness is far more tough <br />No, I'll just lay here dead <br />With the memories I've wed <br />Sure they're all in my head <br />But at least they're of what you said <br />Sure waking up is what I dread <br />Because that's when I realize <br />That these memories that I've bleed <br />They're still just in my head <br /> <br />It really sucks to remember <br />And I regret when I let it show <br />Though I lay in these embers <br />I can't let all this go <br />To forget sucks just as much <br />To relive the mistakes you made <br />But every time I remember your touch <br />Perhaps it's better if memories fade<br /><br />Kathryn Garner<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/as-the-memories-dont-fade/
