Hold your memories close to your heart
Those are the words someone left
Serving as my light in the dark
Searching to find myself, seeking acceptance
The maddened confusion throws me in a trance.
Neglect, broken trust, dreams of a friend
Everything is fine as long as we can play pretend
Rotten pride, lost efforts, scorn, and disdain
Blindness is atonement for being fake.
Long forgotten fragments of the past
Recollect in my mind for a moment but they never last
Left and abandoned to rot on their own
Turning to violence is all they had ever known.
Ill child, sick attraction, target of blame
Mirrored reflections a girl cast out from her fate
A wish, a deal, an exchange was spoken
Magic to seal and secure the promise golden.
