Memories Of Better Moments

For a moment there, though
Think I was under the illusion
We'd kiss it better in some way
Memories of four-years-old selves
Never really leave you
Do they

But this is worse
It's so much worse
You know me for the kiss-and-run
Thought you were different (you are)
Thought we could handle it, but -


You know I'm scared
- Have always been -
Not of the creak of closets
And the silence of houses
But of the dark within

You know it better than anyone
Why aren't you running?
Why are you still here?
People tend to die
The moment they come near
(You know. You've been there.)
Don't you fear?


For a moment there, though
Things seemed better in some way
Memories of chick-flick moments
Never really leave you
Do they.
