Memories Captured

You hold onto all who's lived and died
Your emotions and feelings can't hide
You get out what you put into this life
We all take our fair share of pain and strife

Some live and laugh till their full
Some push whilst others pull
I hold my head up and walk tall
Waiting for your next phone call

Who lives in sorrow?
What do we borrow?
Why wait for tomorrow?
When we don't follow?
Where do we all go?
How do we know?

Wild celebrations late last night
In remembrance of a fuller life
Man died and left his suffering wife
She couldn't have kids and didn't ask why

Love lasts in memories
Love lives eternally
Love caught and captured me
Loved is all we want to be

I saw you in an old photograph
You looked like you had a good laugh
Your eyes said love would last
But your wife still lives in the past

Who deserves a love that's still?
Frozen in time with cold chills
Nothing left or given in a paupers will
Memories of us captured in a photograph upon a hill

Climbing that hill we felt alive
You smiled with a love that never hides
With your beautiful young wife at your side
But now she's a shadow of her former self
My promise was to always try and help

Month Of Memories #10

Now for the reality, what I'm like now that he's gone. I sleep with a line of three pillows parallel to my body so if I roll over, I can feel the rough outline of him next to me.

When

Under the moonlit starry night sky. She shivers and shakes with a tear in her eye. The bridge that she stood on, many times through the years. She's one step away from, but that step she can't bear.

"Who New" (by P!nk)

You took my hand. You showed me how. You promised me you'd be around. Uh huh. That's right. I took your words. And I believed. In everything. You said to me. Yeah huh. That's right.

What He Had

As he watched the glare of the sun on the water, he listened to the once sweet melody of the lapping waves against rocks. His heart going through an excruciating battle.

To You Who Is Still In My Heart

You know, I could hardly help it. You were there, and now you're not. Unspoken words and sidelong glances, Your presence gone left a missing friend. I'm not a person from the perfect songs.

Another Year

It seemed in slow motion, She never touched the ground, Memories flooded like an ocean, Through my ears the sound, Many years have passed, Soul sisters we always were, How did it all go so fast, All...

Harbinger

The joy of many escapes so few, To what we cling on to, The sound of a loved one calling our name, The smell that initiates a nerve of remembrance, How so many angels are removed from this earth.
