Souvenir

Please help me wash this lump down my swollen throat

With all these other things that I find hard to swallow

Tongue in cheek, foot in mouth

Hung myself with my own shoe laces

Sit back, relax

It won't take long for the life to leave my eyes

I go on and on...

I don't have the time to clean up the mess we've made

Keep quiet, I'll sweep this under the sofa and the chair

These arms can't hold the weight of these mistakes

Too weak to change the sheets from when you stayed

I go on and on...

We can't say we tried to put ourselves aside

We might have pretended we were satisfied

Walk on now, but my feet hurt, so I can't make that trek this time

I'll see you, when I see you, goodbye

And while these Memories start to fade

And photographs are thrown away

I'll save a little piece on my side

Breathe out your insecurities and hang them out with mine

I hope you save a piece on your side
