Memory Serves

Window of destiny

Slams shut on the hand of trust

Fate sealed in misery

Eternity to readjust

Yesterday's memory

Swarmed with desire and lust

A black cloud hangs over your head

Tomorrow hangs by a thread

Only my memory serves

Captured by this war of nerves

Forever is merely tomorrow

Watching you savor my wine

With every taste I admire

Intimacy of sighs

Sharing the heat of the fire

My life is incomplete

Yet memories motivate and inspire

A black cloud hangs over your head

Tomorrow hangs by a thread

Only my memory serves

Captured by this war of nerves

Forever is merely tomorrow

A black cloud hangs over your head

Tomorrow hangs by a thread

Only my memory serves

Captured in this war of nerves

Forever by merely tomorrow
