Memories Past

I know that life is fleeting as the thunder burns my ears
Lightning stings my eyes and dredges up my fears
I think of you and wonder about what was meant to be
The rain & tears course down my face until I cannot see

Storms bring memories...

Questions haunt that I cannot recall when I first asked
Any hope of getting answers has long ago since passed
Yet I guard this ancient pain like an oyster with a pearl
because it's all that I have left from when I was that girl.

Storms bring memories...

Life continued on as if nothing had gone wrong
Every bird continued singing their cheerful morning song
All along I knew my world would never be the same
So I've sucked it up and pushed it back and played life's little game

but storms bring memories...
