I'm feeling very sad today,
With no poetry in my heart.
There's really nothing left to say
Since we've been pulled apart.
I thought that you were mine for life,
And there was no way we could know
That you'd be forced to leave so soon
Before my time to go.

Memories can bring great joy
And some memories bring much pain
When memories are reminders
Of what never comes again.
How long does it take a heart to heal,
How long for memories to fade?
No lifetime's long enough to dim
The memories we made.

So I must live with memories,
Try again to find the joy
That was mine, I thought, forever,
When I first saw my boy.
All the years are passing swiftly
And I don't know where they have gone.
But you are with me forever,
The sweet memories linger on.

The memories will become sweeter every year..and in time..your broken heart will heal. Writing is part of that healing, I know.

Joyce:  This is a wonderful poem about loss and rememberance. Sometimes the sad ones take precedence, but there are lots of happy ones too.

I breathe the dust, the dust is me.
