Dead memories

Chillin' in the shadows where the echoes fade, Lost in the whispers of the choices made, Time's a thief, it creeps, shadows serenade, Memories drift like smoke, in the night they wade. Pictures in my mind, but the colors turn gray, Faces that I knew, now they just decay, Thoughts rewind, but the pain won't fray, Chasing after ghosts, but they're too far away. Bottled up emotions, like a storm in the bay, Each wave crashes hard, but I still wanna stay, Searching for the light in the memories that play, But the past is a maze, and I'm lost in the sway. Haunted by the laughter that we used to share, Now it's just silence, fills the empty air, But I keep on movin', gotta rise from despair, Dead memories linger, but I won't be ensnared. or In the shadows where the silence speaks, Echoes of the past, yeah, they haunt me for weeks, Faded photographs, dust on the shelf, Trapped in a maze, I’m just searching for self. Lost in the moments, replaying the scenes, Chasing down dreams that slip through the seams, Time's a thief, stealing love like a heist, Memories linger, but they fade like the ice. Heart heavy, but I’m light on my feet, Navigating through the pain, I’m dodging defeat, Ghosts in the closet, they whisper my name, But I’m breaking these chains, I’m done with the game. Life's a canvas, painting over the scars, Finding peace in the chaos, reaching for stars, Lessons learned from the ashes I rise, Dead memories fade, but the spirit survives. or
