Memories Burn Hard

Look back, look back through the red and rotted leaves
When jewelry turned your head and brought you to your knees
Our lives took place on some funny planet then
Letters burn easy with one little spark
But I’m afraid memories burn hard
We met, the explosion stretched us at our seams
The fallout soon subsided along with the dreams
But does that mean that we cannot remember when
Letters burn easy with one little spark
But I’m afraid memories burn hard
Unsheltered insecure
We were alone those days
And the conquering of our lives
Set the tone those days
But the elements and style
We must carry with us now
Here’s one more dime store novel
I can’t throw away
Letters burn easy
With one little spark
But I’m afraid
Memories burn hard
Letters burn easy
With one little spark
But I’m afraid
Memories burn hard
