the burn

will you remember me when i'm gone for good
when all things said were taken for granted
will you still remember the times when you really cared
the kisses we shared
the love we held into our own

it was your eyes that held me up tight towards my heart so pure i felt it crashing
it was your sould i needed to be forever clean
so that my thoughts would tend to
their likings
it was the way how i lifted you up and put you down
and all around your
smile it lit
your tears i felt
the nail i bit
too hard down unto this feeling
and wishing you to remain with me
like you tongue i've talked
all a lie

will you remember me when i'm gone for good
when all words said only disintegrate in the air
when all the blood washes up in your face again
and you lose that feeling we once had
when the love we held unto
was the way in which we breathed
and ate
and slept
and wept
over and over
and never again
never again
these dreams i dreams you in
these lines i write you in
holding you up so far
and letting you fall finally
into the darkness of my mind
again i hold you through my fingers
falling sand
through the love we once called our own
