You gave me a canvas of memories

That I can’t erase from my mind

Your love that torched my heart

It now causes me to be blind

I run through drops of liquid

The flowing tears of my memory

Your leftover pictures painted

Has brought pain within my soul

Promises of our future

Hidden secrets that we told

Sinking now to the bottom

Of the rivers that runs cold

You gave me a canvas of memories

That I can’t erase from my mind

Your love that torched my heart

It now causes me to be blind

Music I carry within my veins

The melodies you once sung

Dance now inside my dreams

On an empty wall you once hung

I see you every time I breathe

I hear you within the wind

Whispers of your memory

I cry myself to sleep again

“Canvas of memories

Erase from my mind

My un-torched heart

You’re making me blind”

You gave me a canvas of memories

That I can’t erase from my mind

Your love that torched my heart

It now causes me to be blind
