To Mars

To Mars

My memory came calling
Caught me by surprise
Taking me back to a time gone away

Her hair was dark
Voice a little raspy
The freckles on her nose
Made her unique in her own way
SHE MADE HER  MARK

I was black and white
She was grey
But somehow we connected
SHE MADE HER MARK

With every word she spoke
I became infatuated with her 
Sense of being
SHE MADE HER MARK

Our time together was only a flash
 we started a fire and let it burn
SHE MADE HER MARK

She left like a thief but that
Was her way

I often look back at the path of 
My existence 
And see her footprints
SHE MADE HER MARK
