My Soul To Keep

Memories of us flicker like a candle wick's flame Yesterdays, I recall, but today nothing is the same Sleep's become illusive. Each night I am unsettled Openly, I cry as if my red rimmed eyes are nettled Uttering a sigh, I gaze at the glowing gilded moon, Lingering in loneliness while attempting not to cry Thoughts of you flow through me like a waterfall Often, I stare at shadows dancing upon the wall Keepsakes of our life, I cherish with all my heart Every time I look at them, I try not to fall apart Eternally, I will be grateful for all that we shared Please, God, mend my soul, for it has been bared.
