It happened
So long ago.
It happened
I never let go.

It was over
Years ago.
It never stopped
Fears won't let go.

My memory
Broken rose black.
My memory
Burning snow white.

It won't go
It's been gone for so long.
It won't go
The memories held by a prong.

The numbness
Filters it out.
The numbness
After I shout.

Broken.
Why am I like this,
Broken.
By my hands I did this.

Yet I didn't,
It was already too late.
Yet I didn't,
The stars sealed our fate.

It's cold
In house and home.
It's so cold
In heart and soul.
