Haunting Display

The mourning heart lives
Nestled within life’s decay
Perpetual memories
Stream loops on replay

Symbolic references
Gathering dust on display
While casketed treasures
When viewed bring dismay

Another season spent 
With happiness in slumber
Stagnated remembrances
Of a past life encumber

And so the process goes on. And with tomorrow comes another dawn. A memory will always fade, it's just the way that we are made. Until the day we cross on over. To where our loved ones lye in clover.
