"A Memory"

We had our day
We had our time
We had it all
And you threw it away

I'll just close my eyes
Remember your smile
Your beautiful eyes
And the things you would say

That one perfect memory
Is frozen in time
Where things were so perfect
And life was so kind
But somehow time was not on out side
Guess it was meant to end.

Blot out today
Confronted with truth
You've shown the real you
And how little you gave.

I've broken away
Distanced myself
From the you I now see
And the things you have said

That one perfect memory
Is frozen in time
Where things were so perfect
And life was so kind
But somehow time was not on out side
Guess it was meant to end.
Guess it had to end.

"Fresh Flowers"

Looking back now is your path a haze?
Do you regret it at all? Maybe?
Was it worth it?
You wanted to be it all and you gave up yourself,
Was it worth it? Honestly?

Your innocent eyes first met mine
When I wasall but bound and taken,
And you were young and overwhelmed With a twinkle in your eye,
The change was slow
But so painful to stand by
You gained an ego, but lost your pride.

Your touch perhaps was preplanned,
Simply part of a schedule
And I was penciled in,
You held me tight,
And looked deep within my eyes,
I was deceived, it was a lie and no more...

Hard as it is to turn you away
It's long overdue

Twinkle, the twinkle in your eye is gone
You've replaced yourself with a void
A void do not desire

For I want fresh flowers
And what you offer is
dead.
