Pictures to Burn

Memories have scarred my mind;
Thoughts have been embossed on my dreams.
I could never forget you
Or so it seemed.

Pictures in my mind.
Pictures to burn.
Once I did
But no longer do I yearn.

These images I see
Once filled me with joy.
But no more -
My sanity it has destroyed.

Pictures of you.
Pictures to burn.
It was a difficult lesson
I was forced to learn.

My dreams
Were once comforting
But now they frighten me -
They are haunting.

Pictures of love.
Pictures to burn.
I've erased my memories
Soon it'll be your turn.

You'll become
Nothing to me,
Nothing but
A bad memory.

Pictures in my mind.
Pictures of you.
Pictures of love.
My thinking is now through...
