Souvenirs of Love
The souvenirs of love from long ago
are weighing heavy on my mind tonight;
my memories of when our love would glow
with fire and passion and the world seemed bright.
The newness of our union did create
the souvenirs of love from long ago
which now leaves my doubtful mind to debate
the failures made, and things I do not know.
Your abrupt departure was such a blow,
and leaving now my sad heart broken, and
the souvenirs of love from long ago
reminders of our life together planned.
I ask you why you threw our love away,
and left my heart pending in life’s escrow;
forever doubtful is my mind to weigh
the souvenirs of love from long ago.
