I Remember You

Even though the wounds are healing
my heart still remembers you

In my deepest dream I reach out
to touch only emptiness

Your mirrored reflection of a face
I once knew is now lost to me

It is fragmented and strewn across
my memory as if it were and old puzzle
found with so many pieces missing 

My dreams betray me as even they
will no longer allow me to see you or to
touch you again

Distant images now stolen from me forever
haunting me still

Look upon me once more quiet this darkness
you have left me to

I still remember you

Wonderful ..full of emotion Sharon and good luck in John's contest.. but.. please removed the footnote as John has requested in his 'rules' not to put his name or contest on the entry luv.. so u won't be disqualified..

The memories and their haunting effect linger long after a love has gone awry, Sharon. A very touching poem to which many will relate. If this is for John Heck's contest, I wish you success. It should do very well! Love and blessings, Carolyn
