Wintery Souvenirs : Painted In Monochrome
My mindscape often feels colder at night,
Memories attempt to choke me, with all their might.
As the sun dips down, her thoughts, my kryptonite.
In a moment, all's noisy, then dead quiet.

They all say it's time to let these feelings free,
'Cause of the way this love is killing me.
My own thoughts are getting unhealthy,
That just being myself exhausts me.

I lay awake, devoid of dreams.
Lost in echoes, and memories steep.
I've seen night in its darkest themes,
Where silence screams, and stars weep.

I'm so sick of how I end up alone.
Ever since she's away, I'm missing home.
Didn't get to know my sin, what am I to atone?
Her absence has painted me in monochrome.
