Memories

Every memory brings the rain

Every touch, every kiss

All connected to the brutal truth

She is gone, and is not mine.
 

Someone is better than me

Everyone is better than I

She is blind this fact,

But it slaps me across the face.
 

I still fight and hold on

But it gets hard knowing

That someone out there

Is actually her soulmate.
 

How could I ever deserve

Tranquil peace and tender

Love, how could someone

So beautiful love me.
 

This ugly beast rears its head

Whispering how pathetic I am

Nothing can stop it,

Only her voice and touch.
 

Why must I suffer?

How did I deserve this curse?

Knowing she won’t be mine

But still loving her.
 

My heart is forever hers

My mind, my soul, my body,

All hers forever and always

Through thick and thin.
 

My memories are tears

Running down my cheek

Tracing my hideous face

Landing at the pool at my feet.
 

Waters gently rising after

The sobbing and mourning

Why are the memories so harsh

Reminding me constantly of peace.
 

Lay my heart down to rest

As my soul drifts away

Let me be at peace

The peace I once had.
