I Must Be Alive

So many moons ago...
or so it seems to be,
the memories we we making
were killed in front of me.
Trudging along painfuly,
I cleared the tailwind
of all storm you unleashed
and all the hell they bring.
Still I can not run
fast enough to hide
from all that you have left
for me to keep inside.
Memories we were making.
Memories choked to death.
Ghost are all they are
and all that we have left.
Glancing from a distance,
one may think I lived.
But seen by those up close,
is death and loss within.
Life dwells still inside me,
strange as it may seem.
Now, here I am...
writing about my dreams.

Hey bud, let me guess.... It starts with an L, and ends with a Y.  Am I good or am I good.  Sorry you still deal with this, and I know I didn't help very much but you know I love you man.

The more I read and the more I talk to you the more I just wish I could be there by you..*didn't mean to make that rhyme* wow..that poem..I can feel my heart throbbing again *sigh* and my eyes aching with tears..I can really relate to that poem, especially lastnight, I started to write a poem like that..but you did it better, I'm glad you wrote it and not me cos it would have sucked major golf balls =Þ Anywho I'm writing this for support and love and stuff, but I'm no good at that, I try..I just want to let you know that I love you and I'm here for you, well atleast in spirit and over the phone..

Eternally yours,
Kris

This a great poem.  Just keep your head up.  Everything will work itself out in the end.  Keep up the good work.  I love your work, they just get better and better.  Talk to you later.
