Inside the shadow's shadow

0 posted 2003-10-20 11:43 AM


I remember this
silence of the phone
And your side of the bed
Grown too cold
To lay by.

I remember this
Box of memories
Gizmos and gadgets
I'd add every day
Like a girl first in love

And I remember
The last time it seemed empty
Like this.

I remember these pictures
Always a camera at hand
For when you'd unknowningly strike
A graceful pose.

Why is it you seem everywhere
When you're gone?

Why did I let you
Into my life
So much
To the point
I can't delete you?

And
I remember
You coming back...
Just like this...
And planting on my lips
A kiss I'll not forget
("One more thing
You'll have to erase later...")

The back of my mind
Reminds

But instead
My lips murmer
"Oh yeah...
That's why."

they do have that tendency no?

..and then one day you find..ten years have got behind you..no one told you when to run..you missed the starting gun..

Well done, KoKo.

Trying someone new...Now there's a scary thought

Ugh. I can't win, can I?

These are a few of my favorite lines:

"Why is it you seem everywhere
When you're gone?"

"The back of my mind
Reminds"

~ KoKo, an excellent write! I have been there and you brought it back with your descriptive and emotive writing!

Loving hugs,
EA
