Stepping off the edge Into the dark i fall again Everything fading as i spiral down Through the depths of my mind The things i have found Among the secrets i hide From even myself The truth it does lie On a dusty old shelf Tucked neatly away And safe out of reach Are all of the memories I dare to keep Some may be good Some may be bad But they all tell a story From the life that I've had Now as its ending The last thing I'll say Is to keep memories close You may need them Some day
