Murder

I was trying hard to remember her name,
Its' been so long since I’d seen her last.
Her face was the only thing that remained,
Pale and innocent, on a scandalous frame.
She was sitting cross-legged, her foot like a clock
Ticking nervously, she never stopped
She swallowed my face, devoured my eyes.
I hadn’t changed, she knew I hadn’t changed.
I feel so wrong
She’s just a memory now.
Murder! she cried, you devil.
Give me back what you’ve taken from me!
Murder! she cried, you devil.
You knew me once, and you threw me away.
At night we’d walk under the trees
Because we’d joke about being burnt by the moon.
She always said she wanted everything,
She held my hand tighter as we neared a park bench.
Nostalgia’s king when you’re nights are alone,
I used to swim the seas before I found someone.
And there she was, locking eyes with a stranger.
She was busy wishing she had time to change this.
She’s just a memory now
