Memories I Played

I played myself down a blind alley
Dreamed of a life in a valley
From the shadows and rubbish bins
Came a flickering light shining

I walked hesitantly forwards
Glimpsed at a sign with words
Said, "nobody gets out from here"
And that's when I shed a tear.

Memories flashed before me
And the light grew brightly
The last picture was her face
An angel that fell from grace

Death was in her wrinkled eyes
Then I began to question why
Here and now in this darkened alley
A vision appeared in front of me

She was standing in her prime
A memory I had forgotten with time
Her soft voice spoke and she said
"My love, join me in the land of the dead"

I took her soft hand in mine
As she said, "Everything will be just fine."
She wrapped her wings right around
Together we parted from this land.
