Fade to White
Daydreaming through memories I search for you
my journey takes me to waters of blue,
Your reflection shimmers, on the lake of my mind,
Unbroken by ripples, shed from the oars of time
Strong was our love, but in the end it was feigned,
Soon came a wind, pursued by the rain
just but a hint of your reflection remains,
washed away by the rains, and tides of distain
baptizing my memory of the trace of your face,
Just then, crashing thunder, and lightening a blaze
shining light on a memory, the day you left me in scorn,
confused, alone, and somewhat forlorn
All traces of you are fading to white,
these words I recite were not meant in spite,
I've been released from the grasp of your ghost on this night
No longer for the past will my heart mourn,
As I open my eyes, I wince at the light
A passion for love, in my heart now reborn,
with this new freedom, I smile in delight
