Haunted by
your memory
secretly torturing
while comforting me
I hear your laughter
see the sunlight on your hair
so real it can't be a dream
but I turn and you're not there
I hear your whispers
things that you had said
but how can this be?
they told me you were dead!
before my eyes
you begin to fade away
NO! WAIT! DON'T LEAVE!!
please say that you will stay
I'm not ready to say goodbye
I don't want to forget
stay with me don't leave
NOT YET!!!

StarrGazer. . . sometimes, the most painful part can be not letting go, but remebering that you really did. . . and sometimes. . . you have to say goodbye. . .

Excellent words, my friend. . .


By the way, your poem is done. . .check it out in Open #6!

I had to say that I really like the line:
"I see the sunlight on your hair". It reminds me of Leonard Cohen, and he has a magic with his words.
