The Memory
In the garden she said goodbye.
A kiss filled with remorse.
Moonlit memories she asked to forget us
as I promised to try.
Time and addictions.
A change in appearance.
Old vices and new afflictions.
I found comfort with many
and refuge with none.
Life can be a tragic play.
As empty as the night as beautiful
as the setting sun.
Sometimes a vision becomes unclear.
Forgotten lovers guilty eyes.
Did we part under false terms or
simply fear.
A candle's light.
Glows softley and cuts
through the night.
Sanity is only a common state of mind.
To forget is not possible.
For it only takes a single song to remind.
I saw the pain in your eyes.
The sorrow did illuminate the darkness.
Moments go unseen as this statue of a man cries.
I cannot give you my word that it will
be my best.
In that place so far away.
I belive I will never be able to fulfill your
request,
I understand that which could never be.
Trapped in a prison of a memory.
