Flashbacks

I trust you
even though I shouldn't;
in the dark, I deserve the sun.
Every part of me
still replays
the beginning of the end of one love.
 
I swear I would hide away
amidst the rays in the North Pole
or the skyscrapers in Shanghai,
right there where you wouldn't be able
to come back to me ever again.
 
I'm walking away,
away from the void
to find another me.
I see again who I was,
I hear the uproar
of those extremely long weekends.
 
And an umbrella covers me while
only the memory of us two rains on me.
Now that we're two quenched lights,
you come back in my flashbacks.
 
I'm walking away,
burning the photos
where I am next to you.
I see again who I was,
I hear the last thunder
of those extremely long weekends.
 
Of you, I have less than nothing left,
only violent caresses burnt on my skin.
Now you're coming back to my mind,
 
To me,
and I don't know what resentment is.
I've understood this on my own,
I feel the punches and the pain
only in my flashbacks.
Only in my flashbacks.
 
Walking away,
leaving right after,
from the moment I was already someone else.
And I love who I am,
but there remains the uproar
of those extremely long weekends.
 
So many lies being slowly told
and so many promises coming back to mind.
Now that we're two quenched lights,
you come back in my flashbacks.
 
I love who I am,
but there remains the uproar
when you come back in my flashbacks.
