A Rekindled Memory

I stand amid the flowers of a time gone by I search my thoughts, not wanting to cry Haunted by a memory so tender and sore I still my heart as my knees begin to shake more Her pretty smile is but a distant flavor gone sour Maybe if I banish these memories ever more My healing would know comfort and peace Yet, somehow the graceful love would cease Gentle raindrops begin to fall upon a cloudy head I search to no end for shelter to relinquish my dread A haven somewhere that I may find her again Her captivating beauty in my heart my only friend As I walk slowly away from the small mound My desperate tears flow unleashed to the soft ground I awaken dying strength to put her locket upon the stone I look up to see the rain was gone, I am still alone
