The Girl Who Got Away
You ask me how I would remember you
I replied I would remember you
in both my heart and my brain
In my brain, your physical beauty resides there
though you may get old and gray
what you are now will always stay
like a digital photograph
clear and vivid it will remain
Your inner beauty resides in my heart
where there is a special place
because you have shown me your tender side
The very essence of you is in my heart
in my heart for eternity and a day
Though words may fail
I remember you to this day
even though I'm now old and gray.

Tears drown my satin pillow
For Darling I want you ever so
You are promised to another
And I must let you forever go

A time when life had less to hide.
A time when simpler thoughts prevailed,
A pure and tender heart
A NEW BEGINNING
Carry on world, we'll soon say goodbye
Carry on children, there's no need to cry
My job I was given on earth
Why do I bother
and waste all my time
You love 68
But I deserve 69
Where is the love
that you promised me?
Where is our future?
That
Good-bye, my kitten,
Good-bye, my pet,
Good-bye, the white of my wooden chess set.
Farewell, my pumpkin,
Farewell,
