Memories

The house is a shrine to your memory.
Each object I polish so carefully chosen, 
So lovingly purchased and placed with care.
Every touch reminiscent of when you were there. 

Each picture a petrified moment of happiness.
Frozen, hovering in the space of yesterday. 
Suspended with the echoing laughter, 
And the music of your soul - when we were whole. 

The slideshow in my mind on replay accompanied
By the haunting soundtrack of our love.
Piece by piece I collect our memories, and 
Turn off the camera in my mind as I close my eyes. 

Suddenly I cry again; remember our goodbye again. 
Each object brings a tear, every picture tells a story, 
so lovingly written and told with care.
Every word  reminiscent of when you were there.
