Remember, Remember

As I stare at this memory;
this moment-in-time; this
forgotten past; my other life;
this lost secret; this picture,
I hear the laughter; the giggles;
the love; the warmth; my every
desire.

Your voice, it soothes,
it calms my soul; your lips, your
soft luscious lips; your
eyes, the mirrors of your emotions;
your arms, the protective shield
you wrapped me in, all gone.

These tears I cry, are for
you, I lost you one night;
that horrible, depressing night,
the night your pure, innocent
soul left this dreaded world,
soaring up high, above every
dark figure; you search for
this woman; this angel; this
saint; the one you love; you
embrace me; you kiss me,
you whisper your
love to me; I didn't respond;
your body fades through
me, your voice goes
unheard.

On the floor, the dark, cold
floor, her phone has been
dropped, a scared, panicked
voice speaks, "Hello? Are
you there?"

Frozen, motionless I stood,
like a statue; a sculptor; a painting
in shock; the screams of pain
and torture filled her ears; you left
me that night; that one November;
I walk alone now; my heart is
gone; my feelings frozen,
I am numb; I am dead;
Every time it is really
silent; the only sound is
my heartbeat; another
beats with it, and a soft,
Sweet voice
whispers to me "Remember,
remember your love for November."
