Memories

As I sit in the dark and close my eyes
My vision fills up with faces that once said goodbyes
I just wish those memories could fade
But each time the lights get down they flash in with a grayer shade
And its gets harder to swallow the lump in my throat
The songs I sung and poems I wrote
Take me to a world of forgotten memories
When life was a joy with no worries

Then the sun peaks in, I wake up in today
Thinking what price would I have to pay
To bring the world to a stop
So that I could just dance and hop
In the old beautiful times
Where laughter resides and smile shines
So that I don't have to close my eyes
And my vision could have no goodbyes
