Life After Death

By PaperPromises

I remember everything she said
It never ends; runnin through my head.
I think sometimes I'm losing my breath
Could today be the mark of my death?
My thoughts they run so deep
I don't think I ever really sleep.
It's just time to lie down
While my memories whirl around
They're so tongue-tied and twisted
Will I ever taste what bliss is?
Sometimes I'm not even sure if I'm alive
Is this life after death; have I died?
Nothing at all seems to be clear
All hazy & fuzzy, bottled up here.
One of these days I'm gonna burst.
One of these times I'll quench my thirst.
But it's not so easy to forget
All these marks that she left.
Written all across my cold past
Inscribed so they can last and last..
