It takes its toll
Thinking back on memories of you
All covered in dust and dirt
Sprinkled with shame and remorse
I know it hit you hard too.
Some days
I wish I didn't have to keep the memories
I wish they would dissolve
Into the acid of nothingness
In my mind.
Because thinking of you
It takes its toll
If I could just lock away any thoughts of you
Into the backdoor of my mind
Sealed tightly
Forever to remain shut
Why not?
You took away all the good pieces of me when you left
I fight every day to build them back even better
But some days
You really take your toll.
