Memories

Memories infused with the smell of roses
Instigate your thoughts within my mind
Enclosed within my own little shell
I see them devour all that's left of me

It reminds me of a lot of things
Things that i try moving ahead of...
But they keep catching up to me
Bringing me back where it all began

The warmth of your love soothes my soul
The depth of my heart enveloped by your affection
Caressing me ever so softly and gently
Your tender care relieves me of this pain

Like the unwinding circle of mother nature
I'm haunted by what's already long gone
Despite the distances that exist between us
I continue living upon that tiny shred of hope
