Film at Eleven

A film of dust obscures the light
Of this little pretty stone so bright
I pulled it out to sell today
Then put it back, what's to say?

It isn't here for you to take
It's here to pierce me like a stake
To remind my of my foolish choice
The day I last heard your sweet voice

Still dusty back in box it goes
To sit beside the dried red rose
And other pieces of the past
Ghosts of loves that didn't last

Some days I wish my memory
Was short, that I'd no longer see
The ghost of your sweet presence here
The light you brought when you were near

But I am cursed with problematic
Flashbacks almost cinematic
When I touch these ancient relics
Theatre opens, projector clicks
