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
