Memories collected on a bookshelf
Flashes of love passed
Dark eyes searching for missing pieces
Begging for what could have been
Memories hidden in a drawer
Flashes of hurt present
Icy eyes searching for lost pieces
Mourning what could have been
Harsh words collected in weary minds
Slashes across tender threads
Shaking fingers searching for broken ties
Regretting the divide created in anger
Harsh words hidden in a broken heart
Slashes across fragile bonds
Steady hands searching for healing balms
Crossing the gulf created from hurt
Hope held in a sentimental heart
Glimpses into happy times
Fluttering fingers reach for parchment
Reaching for bridges to a future
Hope buried in battered heart
Glimpses into peaceful times
Scared fingers trace lines on parchment
Reaching for bridges to healing
Tender words flow over wrinkled parchment
Slicing through scarred skin
Dark eyes searching for a future
Craving what should have been
Tender words leak from wrinkled parchment
Slicing through tender scars
Icy eyes searching for forgiveness
Craving what could have been
Fears hidden in shaky script
"Trust me I lie
When I say I don't need you"
Hoping to find second chances
Fears discovered in shaky script
"When I say I'll be alright
If I had to be without you"
Hoping to find forgiveness
Cold regrets hold onto paper
Shaky fingers break wax
Unfolding his heart's desire
Waiting to read her heart
Cold regrets melt into paper
Restless fingers trace ink
Unfolding her soul's desires
Waiting to read his answer
Worry fills empty spaces
Embracing lost time
Ebony eyes straining in the dark
Searching for lost chances
Worry fills empty rooms
Embracing lost peace
Icy eyes searching the dark
Searching for missing moments
Quiet tears fall to the page
"Don't make me close one more door
I don't wanna hurt anymore"
Searching for his heart
Quiet screams lift to the sky
"Stay in my arms if you dare
Must a imagine you there?"
Searching for her answer
Dreams loaded with fear
Reaching for missing piece
Ebony eyes glisten with faith
Wanting her forgiveness
Dreams loaded with peace
Reaching for missing time
Icy eyes melt with grace
Wanting his touch
Frail promises slide over damp pages
"Just when I thought I was over you
And just when I thought I could stand on my own"
Dropping like feathers in the wind
Frail promise lift off damp pages
"Oh baby, those memories come crashing through
And I just can't go on without you"
Dropping like leaves in the breeze
Memories gathered in a broken heart
Sentimental pieces of a shattered dream
Ebony eyes haunted by words
Melting into the past
Memories gathered in a healing soul
Sentimental foundations of a new dream
Icy eyes haunted by actions
Melting into the future
Harsh words forgiven in a breath
"I look in the mirror and all I see
Is a young old man with only a dream"
Asking for second chances
Harsh words lost in a breath
"Am I just fooling myself
That she'll stop the pain"
Asking for new love
Hope floods empty spaces
Shaking fingers touch pale cheeks
Tender kisses on cold lips
Filling his heart
Hope floods old wounds
Restless fingers touch dark skin
Tender kisses on warm lips
Filling her soul
Quiet dreams fill his soul
Unfolding new chances for an old love
Ebony eyes soak in forgiveness
Planning for new memories
Quiet love fills her heart
Unfolding new dreams for an old promise
Icy eyes soften hurt
Planning for bright future
Promises whispered in the dark
Languid kisses into soft skin
Shaking fingers holding his future
Unrequited love no more
Promised breathed in the dark
Fevered kisses on hard plans
Restless fingers holding her dreams
Brilliant love for ever
