Note: this was originally a song i wrote: but now it's not. <br /> <br />No longer can I weep for you my dear <br />No longer can I write these words for you <br />I’ve walked this earth for years <br />Burdening the memory <br />Of you <br />I wish that I could change the past <br />Bring back the things fire took away <br />So greedily <br />But there’s nothing I can do <br />So I lie here at night <br />Imagining a world where people are happy <br />But that’s only in my mind <br /> <br />But I still can’t forget <br />What burnt down is gone and will always be that way <br />All the water in the world couldn’t of saved you <br />Couldn’t smolder what was made to be <br />And I regret the thing I helped you do <br />But I don’t regret me and you <br />The ashes stay that way <br /> <br />No longer can I research what happened <br />No longer can my acquaintances save me <br />I’ve read your letters over and over again <br />And it comes to mind that there’s no going back <br />But never will your memory leave me <br />The taste of the root beer as I looked into your eyes <br />I knew somewhere in the back of my mind <br />It’s to good to be true <br />So many stories end in fire <br />Heartbreak and misery <br />Ours is no exception <br />And that’s not only in my mind <br /> <br />I will never forget you <br />I will play a few sad songs <br />And picture your face, laughing the way you did <br />I will stay strong for you <br />I will keep a certain file <br />In my heart for always, eternity <br />But most of all, for your sake <br />I will never play with fire again… <br /> <br />I can hear it in my head <br />When I sleep at night <br />See the flames <br />Over and over again <br />Did we choose our fate? <br />When we were taken away, <br />Or did they choose it for us? <br />Our love wasn’t meant to be <br />Ridden with catastrophe <br /> <br />And I regret the thing I helped you do <br />But I don’t regret me and you <br />The ashes stay that way <br /> <br />*I dedicate this to the actual Lemony Snicket and Beatrice Baudelaire. <br />The world will someday be quiet.
