When she came, she came to leave.
I did not wait for time to grieve;
And when she asked for my memory,
So that in her mind, I’d always be
A part of her, and her for mine;
And though it worked for quite some time,
Yesterday she vanished from my mind.

My promise lost I said goodbye,
To a face that made me cry.
For her, I said there was no way
To ever arrive at this sad day;
But when I did, I did not mind
Because stars were born just for their shine;
But as with most their light still dies,
Until all we have is what’s left behind.

To think where fine life once was kissed
Now was cold and was not missed –
But was her life the thing that shined?
Or just a thing that lived to die?
There was no answer I could find,
Except that love had left my mind.
