Poems by The Living Tombstone System

Memories

I can't remember you correctly
It feels wrong to see you constantly
I close my eyes and you're here
How much do you need to stay for me?

Songs bring back memories
Memories I cannot recall in these times
You're not here enough to be alive
But you're here enough to make me die.

Not sentimental enough for your time
You're somehow passing through life
Selfish and unstoppable now
You remind me so much of who I can't reach

Didn't think I'd remember you again
It's worse to know you're not near
Shifting moods and shifting gear
Please appear or erase yourself again

He reminds me of you, why isn't it enough?
Why do I want you and not him?
Things that I can't recall occurring
And yet know they're there with me.

Wasn't it enough I fucked it up?
You had to fuck me up too, right?
Can't even come here and talk
I'm more sick of myself than I am of you

I am who I am, but I can't forget who I was
Grew as a person, but you're not here to see
I'd hope for you to be near, but that's impossible
I should move on, but you're on my mind nowadays.
