Memory

Lost and all alone
I held the fear at bay
Always called the ”weakling”
I’ve never been too brave, but
From the time we met
Things began to change
I fight now to protect someone tied by fate

From the black and frigid darkness that I am
Somehow I could wake
From nothingness I broke out of my sheel
Met with only pain
Pain, that I could love
That I could gain
That I could hate
Pain, that gave me courage to fight
Against my fate

So, take all that I have (but please, take me away)
I want to see the true world
Outside this maze

What is this world, so different
From what I’ve ever seen?
Is this reality distorting
Or some little girl’s dream?
Petals scatter all around me
As I’m forced to choose
Red, yellow, blue
Three into two
An evergreen truce

(Is this okay? Are you asleep, garry?)
Is this the price of reality?
(Could you return that rose?)
(Loves me, loves me not, loves me, loves me not, loves me…)

Petals of a rose
Falling to the ground
With no one there to hear it
Does it still make a sound?
Lost, but not alone
We learned some time ago
A secret solitude
That only we know
