Apparitions

Sitting in the dark

Memory a tonne

Remember what you said Before the damage done

To give it up and walk away

To hoard your love and let it fade

Sitting in the dark

Shadow on the wall, anchor drops away, refusal of a call

Hide yourself without a trace, the words I thought I heard you say Trying is all I have to live for

Feel my heart can’t ache more

What is meant by lifetime?

Hardest part is knowing I could be something special

I was made for more

Sitting in the dark

Empty as a shell, I can’t recall the time I knew myself so well Apparition on my skin

Reflection of a child within

Living is all I have to die for

Ask myself the question

Do I live or die this way?

Choices, oh so many voices in my head But I know the one that calls my name

I’d forgotten how to dance

I used to sing when I was younger

I’d forgotten how to laugh

I used to play with awe and wonder when I was younger Choices
