Your Memory, Forgotten

I saw her face in a dream last night,
Then I awoke with a sudden fright
My heart dropped to the floor
I felt trapped with an open door.
I realized how I felt this time
It almost felt like a crime.
I've been mourning for so long
Without this weight, I feel wrong.

I tried, I could not remember her name
And I could not recall a time
When I needed someone to be the same,
To hold me and sing me a rhyme.
Those days are long past
Lost in the fabric of history
Apparently not to last
In my unraveling memory.

I can remember a name, but it doesn't belong to her
It belongs to someone who knows my pain
Left behind to waste away in misery that will recur
Upon the mention of a certain cursed name.
You see, I believe that a chance has been given
And to let it pass would be a great folly indeed.
You know those scars will never be forgiven
But I'm not going to let you bleed

Because I don't remember her name anymore
But I can seem to remember yours
I have run out of things to answer for,
So let's bury our hearts beneath the floors.
