I find my escape above the clouds

There’s a light at the end of this tunnel
Or at least thats what I’ve been told
Someplace where things get better
Someday never comes but hope lives on
When will I be rid of you and these memories
The way you walk down the hallway
I can still see your face filled with tears
My skin still tingles from your touch
Blood drips from eyes scratched out
I’m trying to erase these memories
Scrub your caresses from beneath my skin
You will leave my dreams
I’ve moved on and let you go
But memories can’t be locked in a box
That I hide in the dark underneath of my bed
Or in a carton labeled “High School” in the attic
They will resurface at will
Knocking me off my feet and stealing my breath
The way your scent used to steal my breath
Teasing looks and soft kisses
If only my brain was an Etch-A-Sketch
Shake me hard enough and erase these memories
But my brain retains these images
Like I retain water every 28 days
No changing and no controling
So I will bury them deep in my head
Make new memories and find new loves
The wooden extension of my arm gives me life
Shows me what love is again
It opens doors to emotions
Letting me soar high above these thoughts of you
It is something that holds no connection to you
Daylight streaming through the church
As notes circle my head and up to God
I forget you and all your damn memories
