lend me your memory.
she closed her eyes and let the sun dance across her face.
the music floated to her ears.
touched her heart.
and her mind slipped away.

the strum of his guitar.
his melancholy voice.
is that alright? is that alright with you?
the ebb and flow of the strings.
tell it like you still believe!

my heart connects.
yet you cut the strings.
another soldier on the road to nowhere.
just want to be loved.
cherished for me.

separation is impossible.
desperate for you to care.
learned helplessness.
passion to despair.
can't let go of your hand.
