Description Because all we know is falling apart.
And all we ever were has broken to dust (it would disappear completely if it could).
I'd like to steal your memories (you aren't using them anyway),
lock them up in my heart for safe-keeping.
(I'll never let go).

Do you ever think back to those days where we could be?
Or..
are you letting the yesteryears of our past(s) fade away forever,
while I'm stuck clinging to the few things I can retain.
I'm slipping..my knuckles are white with the strain.

And for once in my life, I'd like something other than the key to your heart.
Take it as you may,
I'd like nothing more than to be the locksmith to your mind (hopesdreamsthoughts).
All I want is to sleep well at night,
no more nightmares of unanswered questions.
Now I have the key, baby.

I suppose it's dramatic to say you ruined me,
but ruin me..
you surely did.
What happened to that naive little girl?
Wide-eyes..hopelessly ready to fall oh-so-in-love with you.

I hate you for making me lose her to the depths of your soil-after-a-summer-rain eyes..
I hate myself for merely watching her fall.

It doesn't have to make sense for it to hold meaning. Does that even make sense? 2 days without sleep and I'm one step closer to deciphering the meaning of something that cannot be touched or seen.

Eh.

Anyways, good one, very free and loose, it fits my mindset. Keep it up.

Sleep-deprivation=best time to write and think.

And thank you. ♥
