I Remember from Unveil by ElysianSoul

“Are those your ribs?” you said to me,
Feeling under my shirt,
Was only fourteen years ago,
But the look in your eyes still hurts.

Cut like razors against your fingers,
Counting them one by one,
Your voice still echoes in my soul,
Your memory holding on.

Remember how you told me
Your brother liked to beat you,
So bad that you became numb,
Your mother didn’t care,
And your dad was never there,
I felt it, and it stung.

Remember when I told you
That I was anorexic,
Nothing but a skeleton,
Crying over MSN,
I’d throw away my food,
And you’d always come through,
And hold me while I starved.

I remember.
I remember.

Feels like yesterday,
In that cold November,
When our hands turned grey,
Oh, I remember.

Feels like yesterday,
In that dead December,
When you hit the vein,
Oh, I remember.

Feels like yesterday,
In the throes of winter,
When the rope gave way,
Oh, I remember.

Feels like yesterday,
At the end of summer,
Kneeling by your grave,
Oh, I remember.

Feels like yesterday,
In that cold November,
With my shoulder blades,
And my skin like paper.

How your mind decayed,
In that veiled October,
Locked yourself away,
Said your time was over.
