Corrosion

As the memories flicker in my head

A glimpse into the lives we once had fades forever

Just like the sun sets

Only the sun won't rise again

Just like the love we once had

Erodes away as this unity withers

I am haunted by the echo of you that still calls my name

Take me back

You made a ruin of me

You are the Conjurer

A spell that lit the flame in me

Unaware I was walking into a grave

A cemetery we put rest to

A fleeting heart beat

Because the one in your chest no longer wanted to

Why did I sit and argue

Instead of loving you

We could have saw this whole thing through

Now just watch it collapse

Well why don't you

Discredit and replace all the love and pain we embraced

You've made it clear it meant nothing to you

Bound by tragedy

Pain induced by open wounds

Now the aftermath is setting in

You let go while I held smoke

Smother the flame before it can burn

But embers still ignite

The fire swallowed me and scarred my skin

I'm not drowning

I'm sinking in

And now these images I have of you will stain the back of my head

I don't regret (won't regret)

But these wounds won't heal until I have left you
