Condemned to remember

I beg, cry and pray for freedom,

Hoping you will grant it to me some day

But at times my vision blurs

And I cross the line in a haze!

A blasphemous silence is all you have,

A gift you offer me every day,

I have accepted it graciously

Knowing that I won't ever find that ray!

Sunset has become more beautiful than ever

For it reminds me of a speechless you,

That moonlit night, that starry sky
All they offer are countless memories of you!

An ocean of happiness is what I hide

It makes me weak, but often strong

The memories will die their own death

and I shall know I was always wrong!

That road we walked on still bears our footprints,

That palace of dreams still echoes our laughter

So what if you didn't hold my hand,

I always knew there wouldn't be a 'happily ever after'!
