Bad Memory

I have a bad memory, you said
Many years ago when we met
And I said, believe me baby
Forgetting is bliss
Remembering is agony

A long time has passed since
We had nothing but a single kiss
And when you left, without a farewell
All I was left where your memories
Which still drag me through hell
After so many months and years..

Your taste lingers on my lips
Your breath fills the air I smell
Like a warm summer breeze
Your hair still caresses my face
In my endless, maddening dreams

But I see it in those blue eyes
You have long forgotten these
So, do you believe me now darling
When I say
Your bad memory is such a blessing

Stillborn Baby

I’ve long moved on
And I am truly happy
We both knew
It wasn’t meant to be

So, yes I’ve forgotten her
She is ancient history
And there wasn’t much to remember
Our love was a stillborn baby

You see, I’d never kissed her lips
Never played with her curly hair
Or felt the warmth of her cheeks
Laying against my bare skin
On a lazy Sunday morning

So, really, what is there to forget—
I tell myself every day
And I know, one day soon
when the beating stops in my chest
Her love will have faded away
