Cold Memory

A piece on buried guilt's effects.

You feel guilty, as you should

With such a dark deep heart

Your soul is black as night,

And heart cold as ice

Your past is haunting every turn,

Don’t think I’ve forgotten all your lies

By you snuffing out their flame,

For I refuse to lose your name

I’m a cold memory,

Made to sleep,

Born to hide

I’m a frozen piece of you,

One buried deep inside

I’m a cold memory,

Part of you, all of me

I’m a frozen fiend,

A demon of your mind,

Look around, look behind

I surround your whole life

You’ve buried me, down below

Under time and lies,

I will have my day in light,

For this truth cannot die

Time is a poor liar, betraying the thief

You stole your freedom

You don’t deserve your dreams

I am more than I seem

I’m a cold memory,

Made to sleep,

Born to hide

I’m a frozen piece of you,

One buried deep inside

I’m a cold memory,

Part of you, all of me

I’m a frozen fiend,

A demon of your mind,

Look around, look behind

I surround your whole life

Lies are your home,

Made with a frame of fire,

It will hold you for a breath,

Then crumble to its death

You can’t hide me forever,

I’m in your very eyes

I’m written on your chest

I must be confessed

I’m a cold memory,

Awake from my sleep

Now’s my time.

I’m a frozen piece of you,

A truth long overdue

I’m a cold memory,

Part of you, all of me

I’m a forgotten fiend,

A demon of your mind,

Look around, look behind

I’ve become your life

You are a cold memory,

Now asleep.

6 feet below

You’re a frozen piece of death,

No one will ever know

You’re a cold memory

Part of earth, ne’er to dream

You’re a forgotten fool,

A demon of the past

I told you these lies wouldn’t last.

They stole your life.
