Bury My Memory

inspired by "Hate me" by Blue October and a bad memory

 

 

 

 

I cannot play that song again; It echoes in my brain
flowing with the melody is many months of pain,
reminding me of all the lies and everything you did
exposing the other side of you in the mannequin you hid.
As the bleeding in my heart subsides, even you, I cannot hate
as I step over traps you set attempting to lure me in with bait...


Bury my memory today
bring it flowers tomorrow.
Let me go, so I can finally live my life.


I walk through broken glass today from one more moment of rage,
when I shattered every piece of you from your soul I disengage,
Ripping up every shred of memory that could possibly remain,
and suddenly I felt a sigh rush through me, releasing all my pain,
deciding that not one more tear for you will I ever cry,
so it is with a smile and two choice words, I choose to say goodbye.


Bury my memory today,
bring it flowers tomorrow .
Let me go so I can finally live my life.
Bury it deep
inside of your past
so that you can finally live your life.


I can finally see your shadow, and I no longer cry,
see the graffiti on the wall,  just shake my head and sigh.
I learned that your insults were to destroy my self respect.
I've taken all the hurt you caused, and all of the neglect
tied it in a bow around a piece of my heart that died,
so I don't have the poisonous part of you inside...


Bury my memory today,
bring it flowers tomorrow .
Let me go so I can finally live my life.

Poignant packed with emotion! A very powerful write all the way through but this one really pierced and shredded at this reader's heart:

This is an amazingly powerful write! Full of emotion and passion. Strength to break free... from a love that is not healthy.
I could feel each line as I read through to the end. Exquisite!
