I remember days by the lakeshore
Your eyes reflecting the restless waves
Haunted was I like never before
Much do I try to remember of those days

Only memories though, and little comfort
Not your arms or their tight embrace
And the further I get from it,
The more lines fade from your face

I am left grasping at the empty air
And even that blows away
On the cold wind now there
When I think of those days

My loss is written in tears suppressed
And heard in every single song
Even happiness can depress,
Knowing you are forever gone

got a spare hankie?
A beautifully written sad tune, I could hear a stifled sob.

You expressed your loss so incredibly well, that I am able to feel your pain and sadness...

Loving, healing hugs,

The lakeshore is a familiar place...it's ritual uncertainty and restless grace...

Well placed.  Great write.

The more lines fade from your face

so sad the loss you write of~
and yet so well understood!
