Memories anchor me to yesternights Echoes of laughter, whispers in the dark Weighing heavy, like autumn leaves on trees Falling, swirling, lost in what used to be Grain by grain, they build a wall Bricked with moments, mortar of regret Trapped inside, shadows of what's past Echoes linger, refusing to fade fast And in the silence, I find my way Through the weight of memories, I learn to stay.
