I still hear the echoing of your voice As you said my name, the ringing in my ears Became moments in time that I can still recall after all these years Life is strange and full of change I can’t remember yesterday, yet there you are Little things I had thought were lost Come back to me at unsuspecting times Little things remembered, then again lost So it seems except in dreams, Nighttime recurring visions of restless doubt The healing process comes after the pain Wounds run deeper than at first thought And I lean on the past like a walking cane But the past is slipping fast I can still taste the warmth of your tears Though it’s no longer love, it’s something; Something to hold onto in the night Nights like this when there’s nothing Nothing sometimes means everything |

"Nothing sometimes means everything", nicely said sometimes it is meant for us to look back on the things we had and smile, but something that was told to me a longtime is never retrace your steps, if you left a person alone, you left them alone for a reason, the key hear is moving on! good poem!!!! |

I like the way you express yourself. So many things we use as a crutch but like you said, It's something to hold onto in the night. That line speaks volumes. |

I had to read this because a favorite of my own poems is titled the same. It's interesting though our styles are different how amazingly close the two poems are in content, meaning. I will post mine so you can see what I mean  |
