The 80's

Remember those nights…
Neon lights
Flashing
On pale skin, dark hair,
Green eyes shining…
Brightly

Dancing underneath streets…
Synthetic beats
Overlays
On gentle ears, open hearts
Glossy lips smiling…
Honey

Walking around awaiting the sun…
Having fun
Laughing
A look, a symphony of words
That tone held…
Meaning

Hand in hand against the world…
Brave soul
Bold
Young, wild, and free
You were invincible…
Mighty

I ran, I jumped, I fell for you darling …
Always loving
You
To last forever, never ending
Me and you for…
Eternity

And that should have been our story…

I can’t remember when it all started…
Broken hearted
Sorry
We couldn’t stop
We fought, we shouted, we’re…
Guilty

We were just stupid kids in the 80’s…
Growing 90’s
Adults
When we noticed, rose tinted glasses
It hit us, destroyed us….
Reality

Why’d you go, why’d I leave, where are we…
Selective memory
Reminiscing
If we stayed together, I wonder
Had the house, the cars, the kids…
Maybe

Remember those nights…
Neon lights
Flashing
Skin has tanned, hair has greyed
Green eyes fading…
Slowly
