GOING BACK
We All Loved the Sunset
That came to us
On those nights,
At the caf with the
Potted geraniums and
Yellow curtains
So happy and foolish
Laughing, talking
About nothing, at a time
When there was everything to
Talk about
I love you
Were words that
Meant nothing
Or everything
Depending on the hour
And the quality of the
Strong, dark coffee
I had long decided
To stay forever
On that sunny street
Far away and smiling
But there is always
Time, and soon
Our careful world
Unraveled, just like that
The caf windows were broken
And the flowers faded into the silence
We drifted away, discarded
Like the dying daffodils we were
Its hard to go back
To an abandoned ideal
They take one look at you
And mourn your wasted life
They know you dont deserve
To be remembered,
People like you, they say,
Are worse than enemies,
Enemies fight, you have never fought,
And never will, your past is worthless
Forget it
Forget your summers
Forget your soulless love
Forget the things you swore
Youd remember, it all means nothing
Forget your hopes, your sacrifices,
All you dreamed about
Forget the sunset
