I wander in, again this night
to a room I’ve kept through time
and hear the screams of what I write
and wonder if they shine,

for once I found a man so strong
yet, fate would have it end
and in my mortal bones, I long
to know his love again.

He’s only now, a memory
once magic, now to dust,
to gather through eternity,
forget him, now, I must.

He held me close to where the child
lived and once again
We only caught a glimpse and smiled,
of how it was back then.

The innocence and trust we shared,
was free and touched me once
but when he left I was not spared
the ache of loneliness

But still, he lives along the edge
of my heart in aging prose
for one sad day, I made a pledge
to leave him, safe, alone.

trust me poet ... your words... they shine
this is a very very well expressed poem...
and your rhyme  and cadence are perfect...
the emotions take me there...
I relate to this one very much ...
very well written Emily ..

Your words not only shine but they cause the reader to dig deeper and search the feeling behind them.  Well written and I am putting you on my must read list.
