Murder

By Settle

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
