So much time has passed yet the memories seem to last forever Flashes of what was comes pounding at my door begging me to come back Part of me craving, longing to return to what killed me The strength of my mind falters with every passing glance I can't help but think maybe I'll be happy If I give into cruel temptation To be strong is a definition that gets mixed up in my head Never knowing if I can ever escape the grips of illness Do I give in and give up or do I close my eyes and walk away
