FORGET ME KNOT By Tom Jensen
A crashing wave of thought
Acts as your forget-me-knot
As I'm left caught...
Within the undertow
All the words that hurt
The wild nights
Our long talks
Your short skirts
Emotional scars and burns
Thoughts that I thought
I either buried or lost
So very long ago
They're back again
They have reappeared
Did I ever forget?
Or am I just alone and scared?
I was waiting... searching...
For the new love of my life
But these haunting... fleeting...
Memories of my first wife
Are like pages... turning...
Right in front of my eyes
I see pictures... flashing...
You know pictures don't lie
I feel embers... burning...
Though unstoked they won't die
I am hurting... yearning...
And yet I don't know why
Now I'm slowly...learning...
There's more than emptiness inside
And I'd give...anything...
But the laws of man and science don't apply
