Remember Me

When all alone
In a world free of hate
Seizing on each tear
Deliberating your fate
Remember me
If for a brief moment
Of blue sky and twilight
Remember me

When silence overwhelms
A fainting heart
Broken by trust
And doubt while apart
Remember me
If only in your dreams
Of lovers reunited
Remember me

When paralysis sets in
After discovering the truth
Of deception and deceit
Taking away our youth
Remember me
While closing your eyes
Pensive in thought
Remember me

When hearts are broken
By love’s surreptitious promise
Causing pain and remorse
For two once yoked and harnessed
Remember me
If only a fleeting memory
Seared forever in time
Remember me

Don’t cry for me
When we’re apart
You’ve mountains to climb
And new love to impart
Remember me
As tears begin to dry
For life continues
Remember me

The hurt will subside
With each passing year
Love rekindled
Replacing your tears
Remember me
As one who awakened you
To the joys of life
Remember me
