In Her Memory

Today I write my story

Tomorrow my song

I wish that in my memory

You will sing along

Can you feel it in your bones?

The mystery of me

Can you see me all alone

With pain and misery?

I once remember those happy days

And the times that we smiled

This helped me in so many ways

To keep me here a while

But I finally saw the truth of it,

The reality behind this pain

All of this was really fake

And in memory, I fade into the background.

I fade for all the sinners gone

And all the cruelest fakes

I wait for the forgotten-long

And then my soul it takes.

I give the pain another try

And jump into the grave,

I sometimes wonder, tell me why,

I couldn't be this brave?

I take my leave and shut the door

And bring you one last gift

That feeling of that something more

Shall follow with a shift

I will remember only you

And these few words I say:

Let all of the truth of the world shine through,

And bitterness, away!
