Fading Memory, Remembered But Soon Will Be Gone
Fading Memory, Remembered But Soon Gone
Where once your eyes saw my saddest light
Where once your heart begged for my kiss
Where once you loved me deeply at night
All of that and much more I dearly miss.
Your love you gave so very well for a time
Your touch, you were so generous and free
Your laughter when I would repeat my rhyme
Your request for another poem about a tree.
All of that and so much more I dearly miss
Now time has taken you from my soft touch
Now time denies me your memories, my bliss
Now time sets to justly punish me this much.
I fall into this deep, dark and massive abyss
Where I shall forget all of our secret trysts!
