the days they come & go like rain
the nights they linger on just the same.
i can't keep dreaming of you by my side.
the happy haunting memories of years gone by.
i just want to close my eyes and see
something other than my past staring back at me.
why can't i just break free, of this hold it has on me?
i can't breathe.
i know i have to be strong.
i know this can't continue on.
i can't let this be the death of me.
