I can still smell your perfume
see your red hair on my pillow
feel how your hands held mine

but that was long ago

now all I smell is dirt
I only see wilted flowers
I feel the words carved in granite

the date that you died

will this ever pass
the feeling, the loss, the ache
the memories

I am tired

James... I never know what I'm going to find when I open your work... You might entertain me... You might bring me to tears... All I know is that I'll like it... Every time..

A hushed wow.

A funny thing - one of my most recent poems ended with the line 'I am tired' also.

In your case - it's a powerful end to your poem.

Thanks for the read - enjoyed muchly...

This was written for the sad passing I read about earlier this week- I had no personal way to say I am sorry so I wrote this to express how I might feel- but could never understand without going through it
