Coffin Of Memories

I can’t put your name to paper anymore

I can’t walk into pubs looking for your face

They say you come by sometimes

With a new love on your arm

You never ask about me, from what I know

And I always wonder where’d you go

Hearts that were once home

Have now become abandoned mansions

Of loss and regret

Keeping up with this game of who’s fine

I forgot that maybe you really could be

Stealing moments from my memory

And creating situations where we meet

Letting go seems harder than I thought

And holding on is starting to tire me out

The coffin is in the ground

But I can’t find the strength to pick up the shovel

Mud laden memories just don’t sit well with me

But then again

It’s not like you ever did either.
