The old clock is ticking now

Marks the space between us

Your memory enshrouds my heart

For I am held a captive



Sometimes my soul desires

To take leave of this old world

To spread these golden wings and fly

To the city of angels



But then if I close my eyes

I can see you standing there

Your face in permanence smiles

Your lips a chalice



Seems like I've loved you all my life

Never thought I'd find you

One day the muse may lend these words wings

So I can touch you



But hey!

Don't worry if the feelings not strong for you

I have lived my life in accordance

To the windfalls of passion

Though I know what it means

To be loved and then forgotten



I have seen too many men

Driven insane by their distractions
