Amongst the many answers submitted to the LoadedQuestion: What song reminds you most of a past or present relationship? Mathys offered up My Immortal... intrigued, (as the first time I plugged in the Evanescence album I literally hard to turn it off after a full time through... not because I didn't like it, but because it was too intense under the circumstances of my emotionality at the time...) I just pulled the cd back out [ok so I just popped the computer's cd tray in & out] and gave this particular song another ear...
my immortal
i'm so tired of being here
suppressed by all of my childish fears
and if you have to leave
i wish that you would just leave
because your presence still lingers here
and it won't leave me alone
these wounds won't seem to heal
this pain is just too real
there's just too much that time cannot erase
when you cried i'd wipe away all of your tears
when you'd scream i'd fight away all of your fears
and i've held your hand through all of these years
but you still have all of me
you used to captivate me
by your resonating light
but now i'm bound by the life you left behind
your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
your voice it chased away all the sanity in me
these wounds won't seem to heal
this pain is just too real
there's just too much that time cannot erase
when you cried i'd wipe away all of your tears
when you'd scream i'd fight away all of your fears
and i've held your hand through all of these years
but you still have all of me
i've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
and though you're still with me
i've been alone all along
wow... is about all I can conjure at the moment... (it always amazes me how poignant and timely a simple, somewhat subtle, song can be!)
that hit me about as hard as these words last night
