For Once Forget

For Once Forget.

Resplendent in her evening gown,
Her presence soulfully Divine.
Sheds my embrace leaving behind,
The scent of tear drops, sex and wine.

I shiver in her absence,
And feel a fever start to break.
I search for something real to hold,
But there’s nothing left to fake.

I lie awake in bed, alone,
And burn the day’s last cigarette.
The untouched pillow tells a tale,
I wish I could for once forget.

I dream of times when we were young,
Innocent and never spent,
A love that bloomed ten years too soon,
A love that came, a love that went.
