Memory Graveyard

A Shadow Sits

Empty driveway

Tears on cheeks

An empty silence

Volumes speaks

Deep in the corner

A memory view

A shadow remains

Of me and you

As evening progresses

It stretches and grows

Filling the darkness

With memory glow

Your kiss, your touch

When our love was new

Flashback scenes

Of me and you

Your hips, those lips

Those long gone days

Alone with thoughts

Of your sultry gaze

I reach my hand

To catch a part

Of the fleeting shadow

That pricks my heart

But all I grasp

Is empty space

And pray that night

Will slow its pace

So I can bask forever

In these moments here

With fading shadow

That brings you near

The closet is empty

You've fled from sight

I light a candle

And drown pains bite

Those memories of old

Now I'll chase from the room

And ready my heart

For loves fresh bloom

A shadow sits

Showing memories dear

But the candle reminds

You are no longer here
