Traces

Today this silence is too loud
The light of dawn too bright
The air I breathe too cold
The longing way too close

Sometimes I just want to forget
Even though I shouldn't regret anything
Some things can never be forgotten
The deepest traces of the past

Some things can never be forgotten
No one knows how hard I've tried
Somehow I always
Come across these scars

Today memories are too clear
Those past mistakes too obvious
Despair way too near
Heart torn into pieces
