Come Back To Life

My resurrection of the dead
Are old pictures and what she said
A silent echo and an image framed
The place for my love that bared her name
I meet her with tears instead of the smiles
Smiles are for the living inviting another smile
But tears are for giving they come from the heart
They tell me I loved her with every single part

My resurrection of the dead
Captures old memories inside my head
Those special moments when something was said
The falling in love and sharing a bed
I still have what death took away
Look at the bright side I was never betrayed
An over reaction of my imagination this may be
But her real resurrection is when I'm set free

John, I see you wrote this over ten years ago. Is it the same person you write so often of? I too had someone that affected me so much in my poetry writing. I really like this.

The emotion fills this story with memories and sadness John. Sometimes words are not adequate to express sorrow and it is then a kindred spirit is there to share it with you. Love, Elizabeth
