DARKEN MEMORIES

OLD LOVE

Welcomed me in peace and safety that love was you

 with time Love started acting strange

words of hast that made the heartbreak

that shattered or loving home

at a time, I had to scoff with my heart while

my mind telling me what once was is no longer

with me so I must set it free

I remained there in that patch of light

before old love cast his spell on me

all I can see is darkness.
