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

Oh, just tear my heart out~

Goodness gracious ... I could ring the tears out of this one~

You have the word touch that says so much~

Yes this broght tears but there was more.  When love leaves the memory of it lingers for comfort.  Joyce

PK~

Such deep emotion brought tears to my eyes! The poem felt as if it could have been written about my long lost love. Even now the memory lingers on after so many years.
