As Time Goes By
Yesterday's mourning eyes awaken from sleep
As reflections spiral and rise to mind
Soft sighs remembered when the time was cheap
And the rush of veins pulsating was kind
The romance found fleeting with a lover
When love grew hungry with a need to feast
In time love's flickering shades discover
A lonely heart always reveals the least
And hides from besieged memories looked upon
With a wish to sleep again from love's waste
To hear sighs remembered anew when gone
Another tomorrow, another face
To bow to tortured souls who departed
Lest memories task my world coldhearted
