I feel it all slipping away
Slipping through my fingers,
Gripping at the cool air
In which your spirit lingers.

My memory is beginning to fade
You’re but a silhouette in my mind,
The finer features disappearing
Screaming to be refined.

I can only just remember
The last time I saw your face,
The confusion in your eyes
Set you in a different place.

Now all I have is your photo
Tucked safe inside my purse,
It helps me through the pain
of seeing your shiny hearse.

Do you hear my voice at night?
As I talk to my bedroom ceiling,
Telling you all my fears and dreams
While my spirit begins it’s healing.

I know you’re not here today
To share this life with me,
But I hear your voice in the breeze
And your heartbeat in the sea.

Your love’s forever around me
Looking after my soul;
It guides me through the dark
And returns me heart to whole.

Inside this exterior, over which the eye might have roved…there was the record of a pulsing life, which had learnt too well for its years – Thomas Har

Very good poem. Sounds like something I would write. Keep writing hon. Sorry for your loss.

this poem really hits home. Its a really good one though

If you don't like something,
Change it...
If you can't change it,
Change the way you think about it

It is really good, you can understand the pain and it is impossible to ignore, because it seem so familiar that you just want to read more of it.
