The last thing I remember was his cries

And soon his thoughts, his hopes…ha! Gone like that!

She was, of course, in grace and form a cat

Quite matchless, peerless, perfect to his eyes.

The last thing I remember were those lives

Those lives entwined forever; blind as bats

They were to all, his love to him did that

Which ultimately led to his demise.

The last thing I remember, funny thing,

Was how this feeling, love, had ruined all,

Did I before already know this truth?

See, wisdom only love and loss can bring.

Yes, once to love did I completely fall,

The last thing I remember of my youth.
