I can still feel your touch caress my skin
Memories trapped in picture frames, the taste of your lips
I thought I could leave this love we had far behind
But the remains of what we use to be are sewn into my mind
As I try to bury all this hurt somewhere deep and softly away
By nailing a broken splintered cross into my heart shape grave
Yesterday was just a dream that I let slip away
Today I hide behind this camouflage beneath my self inflicted pain
If it hurts to love than you could not hate me enough
Tearing through its innocence until nothing is left but dust
To give someone so much emptiness as a gift
You would fill the box with lies then wrap it up with promises
But for what its worth I am grateful to have seen the smile of your face
And so I thank you for always reminding me why I just stay away
