A Tearful Recollection Of The Past

In the back page of my thoughts I recollect,
The day and hour and minute that we first met,
She was the one that I'd dreamed of,
An angel from above,
And I placed my heart into her hands of fate,
I never thought she'd cause my heart to break.

The summer sun shone down to warm her smile,
As we walked through the parklands for a while,
We would stay in there for hours,
And adorn her hair with flowers,
To compliment her beauty and her style,
A sweet aroma that lingers with me still.

When the autumn nights brought the first frosts of silver,
I thought she'd keep me warm throughout the winter,
But she left me cold and bare,
When she made her bed elsewhere,
She broke all the promises we'd made together,
To leave me with this broken heart forever.

Now my love is left to wander through the mist,
This broken heart is all she left me with,
And she left my empty soul,
To wander with the ghosts,
Of those haunting memories of what once was,
A tearful recollection of the past.
