Poem Title:
Poem
You called me Memory not realizing that is all I want I couldn't ask for anymore than to be a lovely memory in someone's heart To be remembered is a great responsibility I will wear this name well I'm proud of this name bestowed to me by one of my heroes One of my friends One of my sisters One of my own One of my most precious memories A memory with a future My dear sweet loves Silver cannot describe your voice It's far more valuable It's like gold to my ears Comfort to my soul Honey to my throat It coats me in love It muses my own thoughts An ancient way of thinking I'm an artifact But don't put me behind glass Leave me buried or clean me up but appreciate my beauty either way I'm too lovely to be forgotten So don't think that you can leave without thoughts of me I'll haunt your own memories and gain the trust of your dreams I'll stay in the creases of your heart and be the sleep in your eyes when you wake I can turn necks with a simple smile Don't hold a candle to me For it will only pale The rust and dirt that stains me are contributions to my selflessness I'm a warrior of time A bandit of sorrows for I will wear yours as my own I'm cracked but I've withheld against wind a torment A treasure lost for far too long The map that leads to me has been smudged beyond repair But I'm not... No I'm not the shiniest or the one filled with the most riches But I am to be cherished For I am only one The caverns of my heart are to be explored with reverence I'll open up but can easily crumble I know how to rebuild but I've come too far to start over again I've withstood the test of centuries and I will make it to the end My treasure hunters You've found me Don't look anywhere else for what I can hold It's too great for most But you can handle it I was made to be found by greatness To hold greatness And that is what you have filled me with You've prepared me for wondrous things Things that can't be reached in just one lifetime No wonder that I have so many more to live
