Theres a scene in my head,
it's playing over and over.
Pieces are missing.
I feel like an old photo that's faded and worn.
I can't see so clearly,
My minds rusty on the details.
I remember the drinks and the laughs.
I remember the soft kisses.
But I can't remember why you left.
Why clothes are scattered.
I can't remember why I woke next to cold sheets.
Your this song playing over in my head,
with repeated lyrics.
You're this dream I've been craving.
Footprints in the dirt.
They lead to your arms.
That's a path that's been walked too many times.
I can't say it was perfect.
Because perfect is something you'd recongize.
I can't pretend we're okay with everything.
You know your mistakes.
And I know where mine lay.
The bottom of that bottle,
and in between the sheets.
Memories they stir,
but they're not something I can see clearly.
Photos leave blank questions in my mind.
And I'm left wondering.

this relates so well to the prompt so i'm gonna thank you for that. but im sorry for this happening if it did happen to you. i did see a couple of spelling/grammar errors which can be easily fixed if you look over it again.
"Your this song playing over in my head.
With repeated lyrics.
Your this dream I've been craving."
the first line didnt really make sense.. and the last line should be "You're this dream I've been craving."
however i really loved this
thanks a lot for entering and goodluck
