Bring me your memories

Bring me your memories

Bring me your memories
The chilling memories of your fears
Bring me your memories
The blood curdling memories of your nightmares
Bring me your memories
The pathetic memories of your tears
Bring me your memories
The dancing and singing memories of your joys
Bring me your memories
Of what you love and what you hate
Bring me your memories
Before it is too late for your fate
Bring me your memories
Before they turn to the cold ashes in the Morticians urn
Bring me your memories
Before they turn to dust to dust of the past
Bring me your memories
Before they are lost in the abyss of amnesia
Bring me your memories
For I am the memory keeper of the seasons and the times.
