pictures recalled

from Dante's answer by Joan Silentio

lyrics

Pictures recalled and still now they burn
Riding the swell, contradictions returned
A soundtrack of sorts accompanies the scene
The depth of the feeling, the fracturing dreams

All of the scenes including the last
All of the words and pages we passed
Everything changed, no longer restrained
Emotions that capture, again and again and again

Oh this game, its bitter embrace
We play it regardless of time and of place
Oh how we live, to love not to hate
In spite of the silence, because of the faith

All of the scenes including the last
All of the words and pages we passed
Everything changed, no longer restrained
Emotions that capture again and again and again

*****

"Goodbye my love" came the breathless whisper as she half-turned on the threshold
Her body a silhouette back-lit by the yellow glow of the street-lamp

Painfully she had to
But never wanted to
In the depths of her heart

"You know I love you still. In spite of everything"

Then she turned and the apartment door closed
Shutting out and shutting in
The key turned in the lock
Two
Alone
And all was gone

All was gone
