Forgotten Love

And here i arrive at the lovers gate,

Steering thoughts to captivate 

the ferrying notions of our fate,

the empty, quiet, familiar state.


Alas it's come to say goodbye 

as i knock on yesterday's door,

no confidence or measure 

no laughter, no more.


as we continue in our absence 

we fade our memories in weary complacence,

like festering leaves among the steps, 

leaning over the window ledge 

coffee morning toast, bed 

we eliminate the dread of the past undead.


just so we can forget and adjust 

and forever pass-by in forgotten love.
