You Lost My Memory


Unstoppable force and immovable object,
repel one another when by chance colliding
The Brownian-Motion within this love potion,
ensures our opinions are always dividing
I am from Mars my dear;
you hail from Venus
A meeting star-crossed
like the Sun and the Moon
Destined to let this cruel world
come between us
Our last kiss eclipsed by a shadow at noon

A rose that is built
out of music by moonlight;
petals stained ruby with nightingale blood
Cast down in disgust
to be crushed by a cart-wheel,
because of mere trivia misunderstood

We quest for a grail of illusive perfection,
each hoping we'll find it some glorious day
Yet gaze with remorse at our jaded reflection,
that looks like The Picture Of Dorian Gray

[Chorus:]

Siamese Twins who were joined at the heart
Love's an affliction without a known remedy
Blunt-bladed fate
deemed to cleave us apart;
Emotional surgery pays no indemnity
Some seek release with effete anaesthesia,
others adapt to the role of sworn enemy
You found nepenthe in cheap, sweet amnesia;
It was far easier losing my memory

And the nightingale sang:
"Sing love's lament
with a thorn at your breast
Impaled by her barb;
cruel and unforgiving
A million dead poets would gladly attest;
heart-ache's a keepsake
to remind us we're living"

[Chorus:]
Siamese Twins who were joined at the heart
Love's an affliction without a known remedy
Blunt-bladed fate
deemed to cleave us apart;
Emotional surgery pays no indemnity
Some seek release with effete anaesthesia,
others adapt to the role of sworn enemy
You found nepenthe in cheap, sweet amnesia;
It was far easier losing my memory
