~*Companion Poem to "Sweet Memories" and...
He held her head gently...

I want to listen to all the songs
On this mixed CD...

Today we lay
another down to rest...

(another song)
If the world could stop for you...

We have to patch this up
fix everything...

You've fabricated all of this
the hatred, the looks in all their eyes...

I won't let them have you
they can't take you away...

You've been on my mind all day
And I don't know what to do...

I've felt joy
At being alive...

I never wanted anything to do
With any boy that I happened to come across...

She laughs
Tossing her head back...

I look away
He turns my face...
