Still
Still
Do they ever really go away or are they lingering on the edge Do you only feel their presence or are they nearby on some ledge
Do you dream of them each night or are they telling you they're near Do they talk to you all day a chat that only you can hear
Do you see them as you journey and is their image really clear Do you run to try to catch them even knowing they're not there
Do you so often speak to them not thinking they're not here Do you talk about your dreams or about your greatest fears
Do you sometimes get a minute when a memory just flies Do you fear you could forget them as the moments tick on by
Don't think your mind could lose them you couldn't do that if you tried Do not think your heart is empty it's the place their memory hides
About this poem
I wrote this poem for my Sister who lost her Husband a few years ago. She still talks to him every day. He was the love of her life.
