Tears of youth forgotten memories recalled,

Do not try to contain them, let them fall.

Sweet release oh the hurt cannot heal,

Like a knife’s twist the torment I still feel?

My mind travels into a deep, dark abyss,

Such pain, my mind, now, shattered kiss.

I stumble. I fall. My soul is loosed from me,

Take my memories back set my heart free.
