The Memory

In the garden she said goodbye. A kiss filled with remorse. Moonlit memories she asked to forget us as I promised to try. Time and addictions. A change in appearance. Old vices and new afflictions. I found comfort with many and refuge with none. Life can be a tragic play. As empty as the night as beautiful as the setting sun. Sometimes a vision becomes unclear. Forgotten lovers guilty eyes. Did we part under false terms or simply fear. A candle's light. Glows softley and cuts through the night. Sanity is only a common state of mind. To forget is not possible. For it only takes a single song to remind. I saw the pain in your eyes. The sorrow did illuminate the darkness. Moments go unseen as this statue of a man cries. I cannot give you my word that it will be my best. In that place so far away. I belive I will never be able to fulfill your request, I understand that which could never be. Trapped in a prison of a memory.
