a girl i once knew

By theBAC

Garden gates in starlight
I wish I may I wish you might
Forget whats been said and done
At least for this one night
Go back with me to a time before
Travel there Give me more
Forgive me for everything Christin
I hurt you and don’t know what for
In the past I see us golden
Don’t walk away
In the past I see us golden
In the past I see us golden
In the past I see us golden

Grant me a smile and then turn from me
In my mind I can see images of you and me
But its over I know that
Be happy with him for eternity
Live with him in apogee
So I won’t have to see
No more you and me
Forgotten sincerity
In my heart we spin in perigee
Loving in equality
Making love’s duality
I need to forget you now
And it will come somehow
In the past I see us golden
Please walk away
In the past I see us golden
In the past I see us golden
In the past I see us golden


In the future I don’t see anything

    i like how you threw the little nursery rhyme in there. this is an excellent poem with a lot of sorrow. i like the repetition of the last line also, makes it sink in.
