Burning Memories
Just another bus ride to no-where...lol{no ideas or tune in mind}
As usual...anyone wanting to put this to some music, feel free, changes welcomed and encouraged!
The cigarette lays smoldering
In the ashtray on the bar
He stares at it intensely
Yet his thoughts are off afar
He recalls the Smoky Mountains
The honeymoon they lovingly shared
The oak tree he carved their names in
To symbolize their love declared
They were only seventeen
When they wed that july night
As each memory came flooding back
Another cigarette he would light
You could see it in his face
The stories in his tears
He had lost his lifelong love
A love too short on years
Cancer took her away from him
She now lies beneath that oak
The ashtray holds what could of been
And another cigarette goes up in smoke
