Look out your window once again,
Don’t know what you will see,
But an endless horizon,
Oh what a memory,
Oh what a memory,
What has come over me?
But a simple memory,
As I stand here,
And ponder you and me,
All I can feel is a tug upon my strings,
As you control my sanity,
But it really isn’t you,
It really is just me,
Oh what a memory,
Oh what a memory,
It’s what I thought it could be,
But it’s just a simple memory,
There you are again, running through my head,
No longer to hear from,
Communication dead,
Yet here I am now, wondering free,
When I gaze out the window,
Oh what a memory,
Oh what a memory,
Swept over me that old fantasy,
But here I am now in this tangled reality,
Left with this simple memory,
Now and again,
Your spinning in my head,
Unable to kill this with a bullet of lead,
Or even wine of the dead,
What has came over me?
Oh what a memory,
Oh what a memory,
Running through my head,
Filling me with dread,
One day I’ll escape this agonizing mess,
No longer will it be,
But a simple memory,
Oh what a memory,
Oh what a memory,
Why can’t I be set free
Of all these memories
Of our time we had together,
No longer friends forever,
As I once thought it would end,
Didn’t think it’d happen,
Or even shatter me,
Oh boy was I wrong,
Oh what a memory
Oh what a memory,
Let it go,
Let it go,
Maybe one day I’ll be free,
But for now it’s a simple memory.

- Title: Simple Memory
- Artist: The Serene Artist
- Description: I wrote this song as a way to release the past. I had an old friend I met on Gaia a little over 5 years ago. He turned cold-natured and eventually after taking in the reality, I peacefully walked away. Yet, it's been a couple months since I spoke to him and ended contact, yet he still comes to mind. I did the right thing and yet I'm swamped with the memories of the good times wondering what made him grow so cold. Just want to be set free from the memories so I can move on.

- Thanks! It has a weird flow to it the way I came up with it as well. So, I'm not too surprised, but even so for a poem it works. XD

- It's very beautiful. at some points though it didn't seem to flow as easy when I was singing it, like the rhythm had changed. but I do like the message, I had a situation similar to this when I broke up with my gf.
