Cherished Love
Cherished vows are spoken
they echo in the mind
longafter they've been broken
come back to you time after time
We scheme about the future
and dream about the past
stitch our heart back with suture
that we know will never last
In the shadows of loving one
more than they know or care
we visit a grave of loves undone
to bury our feelings there
We beckon to anything
to change our heart and soul
but escape effort in futility bring
this pain on your heart bestowed
And on this day where church bells ring
when life seems to have passed you by
try to listen to your spirit sing
treasure loves memories until you die
