Gentle Reminders

Sigh
I exhale
As the memories wash over me
Her hair, her laugh, her smile

I wonder if it was all
A dream
A wish
Nothing more

She was there
In my arms
Embracing my very soul
Yet so far away it hurt

I felt so alienated
Yet never more accepted
Never again
No once more

Confusion
I feel her heart beat softly
As we dance around the room
Her soft lips shattering my dream

Pieces fall sharply
Upon moonlit shadows
Each carrying off my sanity
My resolve

She lingers there
Buried in my heart
Finding a place of her own
Searching

I wonder
I really do
I ponder on why
On how

I remember us laughing
To a sing-along blog
Genius
I say

I weep inside gently
For love lost
I feel his pain
Reaching out to me

I feel distanced
Away from the world
Yet so close
To this heart

This heart of ours beats soundly
To one dismal chord
The voice of one man crying
Allowed to bear no more

I wonder as I listen
As soft, sweet kisses break
My heart
