All That Remains Now

All that remains now

Long talks and walks with folks
Seems like folk stories
Time spent in amusement
Maybe it was an enchantment
False, vivid beautiful memories
Now they are just folk stories

Remembrances, violently churned the heart 
Eyes widened, heart grew warm
Just a thought brought a smile
Now what remains is a stone cold heart
Guarded by a bed of thorns 
And a high wall

Blurred memories of the beautiful castle
Which was what it was when it was
But all that remains are ruins and rubble
And the vivid false beautiful memories
Are blurred now, almost unimaginable
All that remains are folk stories

It is certainly a sad day when love dies and becomes just memories... I'm hoping this is not true to life. If it is you have my condolences. Well written! Best wishes, Keith 7
