Memories and Ghosts

I recognized
The embers glowing in her eyes
It justifies
The way she tries to stop the pain

But when she smiles
So delicate and bright
Who knows what she had to sacrifice
Her love, her life
A self-destructing lie
Of memories and ghosts

A darker side
A shadow deep inside her mind
A compromise
The only way to feel again

In desperate need of warmth and affection
The ruthless chase of all the things she want to be
And she wants to free herself from all the shame
Caught in between the addiction and neglection
Her spirit fades and time will take its toll
and she will take the fall

But when she smiles
So delicate and bright
Who knows what she had to sacrifice
Her love, her life
A self-destructing lie
Of memories and ghosts
