Try not to remember
Standing in solitude…
Under the down-trodden pall,
Watching my life, my own life go by…
Thinking of those days old and gray
…a tear rolls down my eye,
And like a mirage you fade away…
I never knew love’s agony or painful tears,
never felt this sting all these 23 years…
I dreamed of you holding me, wanting me, loving me,
caring for me, liking me…
Baby! I loved you with all my heart,
But see, you tore it all apart.
I looked into your oceanic eyes??
I am sorry my feelings for you have died,
Is what you said.
And I like a fool stood numb and dead,
Only to watch you fade away…
Let me kiss your lips once more, to see its true,
Help me see you are gone and I am lone…
In the stills of the night,
some times I laugh and some times I cry.
I close my eyes only to feel the warmth of your breath…
Baby! I see you in my own reflection,
I see you holding me not loving me, seeing me not touching me.
Sweet memories turning venomous,
and the promises of togetherness all abandoned.
Lying there, wondering what went wrong,
calling out your name…
I question??If it was a matter of faith, do you love me or hate?
……and I try not to remember.
