Quip's Corner - She told me

She told me once of dreams far off
Of pictures in mind’s distant gaze

She told me once of love and loss
Reduced to faded memories haze

She told me once of passion’s bloom
Left to wither under time’s trodden weight

She told me once of life consumed
The bitter residue of love and hate

She is silent now, her voice is gone
No one visits my mind’s empty room

She has left me now, the hours are long
It is lonely here in my personal tomb

The light is fading fast, the day is failing
And with it now, my sanity trailing

She told me once of dreams far off
I think now that she was going soft

Poof
