"Memory"

The evening grows dark
And the sun has disappeared.
The memories that we once had
Are now washed away by tears.
My eyes are drooping slowly
But I cannot dream just yet.
My mind is plagued with all these thoughts,
Of little things I can't forget.
The stars shine a little brighter,
But they cannot light the way.
All of the paths I'm trying to find
Are hidden where the shadows lay.
My pillow is damp remembering
All the time we shared and cannot have;
Every memory that we treasured so dearly
And knew from the beginning just wouldn't last.
