Was She Just A Memory?
By Karen King
She was just a memory,
Etched in space and time,
The reason for this lost love,
I will tell you in rhyme.
She was his soul mate,
He had searched for so long,
Stuck in his arranged marriage,
It had all gone wrong!
She was just a memory
Etched in space and time,
The reason for this lost love,
I will tell you in rhyme.
She was so emotional,
And so full of passion,
She’d overturned the tables,
In her flirtatious fashion.
She was just a memory
Etched in space and time,
The reason for this lost love,
I will tell you in rhyme.
He said he was happy,
Yet she knew he was sad,
Why did he turn to her?
Good love gone bad!
She was just a memory
Etched in space and time,
The reason for this lost love,
I will tell you in rhyme.
Perhaps he was bored,
Or had an empty place inside,
Perhaps he was in love?
He couldn’t decide …
She was just a memory
Etched in space and time,
The reason for this lost love,
I will tell you in rhyme.
He couldn’t fulfil her
With his poetic thoughts,
They were not enough,
Not what she sought …
She was just a memory
Etched in space and time,
The reason for this lost love,
I will tell you in rhyme.
He thought of her constantly
Confused about her desire.
She was so forthright,
He was somewhat shyer…
She was just a memory
Etched in space and time,
The reason for this lost love,
I will tell you in rhyme.
She was so different,
And held a place in his heart,
Was she the missing puzzle?
He couldn’t bear to be apart.
She was just a memory
Etched in space and time,
The reason for this lost love,
I will tell you in rhyme.
Every time he spoke,
She experienced a thrill,
But how did he want her
And did he want her still?
Was she just a memory?
Etched in space and time?
The reason for this lost love,
I have told you in rhyme.
