Keep me in mind

Read from start to end and again the fearlessness of thoughts in print

strips the chord of a sensible word and what's worse

she left her mark, indelible the nature of a 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 a 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 as 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
