She had a heart of gold
So beautiful and bold
Eyes that drew you in
Not looking felt like a sin
Steps as light as dust
Looking was a must
Smile that broke your guard
Not staring was just too hard

There are two truths
Mine and
Yours
And in between
There are years and years of
Lies

I saw the worst of myself in him,
I fell in love with my demons,
Now I miss them.

Listen to me now
I may say same words tomorrow
But not in the same way
Listen to them now
The cadence
The flow
Listen to them now
Their rhyming deep and low
Listen to my words
Beating deeper
Deeper
forever slow

you are so far from me
that i can feel the earth turn

Life is the burden of memory,
Forgetting is a gift of peace.
