Heartless Moment

Where do the memories go, when it’s the end?
Mine still remain, for now I guess
At some point they will leave, with no gradual fade
A sudden bright flash, oblivion
Heartless. Madman.
Loser. I want you dead.
Heartless. Madman.
Failure. I’ll strangle every inch of life from you.
Where do the memories go, when it’s the end?
Did they pass through your mind, as you lay there?
I was too young then to know, who you really were
I had one gift ripped, you had so much more
I know so little of you, just words passed down
I cling to the keepsakes, rare imprints of life
A thoughtful word, and a caring glance
I don’t really care what you did, where you went
No one can live evermore, but damn it we try
Because if we don’t, what’s the point
Amaranthine in my heart, forever
Random moments in time, I think of you
