inside of me
there is a hard ache
as though it was a quarry stone
it is buried deep
the memory stone
I cannot
will not wage war
to oust it
and so it just reposes there
and taunts me
berates me for the dunce I was
still am
anyone who looks into my eyes
cannot help but see
happiness conjoined with pain
my thoughts
seen through my eyes
tell a sad tale
never mind glimpses of cheerfulness
playing out like a dreadful story

somehow she metamorphosed
and attached herself
to me
it is real
     it is surreal
          I loved her
I lost her
she is here with me now
and forever
     Nanette

Thank you Emma. This poem has been on my mind for weeks, but couldn't put it together until this morning.
