Memories

I keep trying to catch this memory

To hold it in my hand

Yet, it keeps flying away

Like wisps of smoke

As faint

And as choking...

 

Because the sound of your name

Hurts to hear

And I am reminded of the day

The moment

The second

When I found out the news

 

It feels like I have been running

And can't catch my breath

Gasping

Rasping

Yet, unable

To be still my racing heart

 

I keep trying to gain closure

But it's not just another chapter

What is this life without you?

What is this world void of you?

What is my life missing you?

 

I miss you...

 

Every single one of you...
