Keep Me In Mind

Read from start to end and again

Oh, the fearlessness of thoughts in print

Strips the chord of a sensible word

And what's worse?

She left her mark indelible

Oh the nature of her scripted verse

Keeps my eyes

Set on the page and it says

Frankly, dear, I'm forced to give it up

Tried my hand and now I've had enough

Even though we have to say goodbye

Keep me in mind, keep me in mind, keep me in mind

Blamed in advance for the past

With no bearing on the present tense

All that's left are claims that she made

When she said

Oh dear, someday you'll learn to be

Someone better, fit to pursue me

But 'til then we'll call it the end

And she adds

Frankly, dear, the drifters had it right

Stayed the afternoon and left at night

Even though we have to say goodbye

Keep me in mind

Keep me in mind

Keep me in mind

Keep me in mind
