The Worst Best Memories

Time heals all wounds is what they say,
But it doesn't feel like that today,
Can't stop looking back down memory lane,
The worst best memories and companion pain.

At seventeen I knew the lines,
Integrity in Love and sacrifice,
But even this would not suffice,
Against lust, wanderings, and avarice.

Time come over me like summer rain,
Come wash away memories of pain,
Time swallow me like ocean tides,
Erase the worst best memories inside.

At twenty one I took an oath,
two as one, one life for both,
Twelve years and vows were not enough,
Both mate and child you forsook.

Time come over me like summer rain,
Come wash away memories of pain,
Time swallow me like ocean tides,
Erase the worst best memories inside.

My Heart and Soul at thirty-four,
Found someone that they adored,
We sacrificed and gave our all,
Manipulating hearts large and small,
Hidden thoughts and actions bared,
Showed it was not for us you cared.

Time come over me like summer rain,
Come wash away memories of pain,
Time swallow me like ocean tides,
Erase the worst best memories inside.

Searching, reaching, trying again,
Looking for a perfect blend,
Someone, a partner, to stand beside,
Making the best best memories inside.

Time come over me like summer rain,
Helping Love bloom inside again,
Time swallow me like ocean tides,
Making the best best memories inside,
Memories that last forever this time.
