| FADE
Repaint the memories
and color them black.
Tear off the diary entries
in avoidance of ever turning back.
Erase the vision of your face,
clear them from my head.
Undo lines of love, leave no trace-
what once was there is dead.
Paint the stolen pictures in red
for the hurt, the rage, and the anger-
it's the color of the blood I've shed
in the effort of loving a stranger.
Put away the singing teddy bear,
hide the fake red rose.
It hurts to see it sitting there
remembering that we once came close.
Throw away the past-
in comes the new picture I've made.
This pain shouldn't have to last-
I'll mend as I watch you fade and fade and fade... |
