THE LONELY WOODS
In the lonely woods,
Memories stir like the wind in the trees.
Lost in the shadows,
I find you,
With your gentle smile and kind eyes.
In the lonely woods,
Your memory stays with me.
Even when the night is dark,
Your love is a guiding light.
In the lonely woods,
Beneath the whispering trees,
Memories drift like leaves on the wind.
I follow their trail,
Through the shadows,
Till I reach the place
Where your smile still lingers.
In the lonely woods,
Your memory fills the space
That your absence left behind.
In the cold of night,
Your love warms me
Like the firelight that once danced
In your eyes.
In the lonely woods
I stay all day
Hoping that someday
You would say hey.
As time chisels away
You never left my face
In the lonely woods
the light began to fade
Like a spade
Pierced to the heart
Unbearable it became
Till the lonely woods became
Our resting place.
