Shallow Ripples

As i sit here peacefully, In the warming glow Feeling safe from the heat, of what seem's to be the sun. then all too quickly, it begins to fade I feel cold from the hours spent swimming, swiming in the graying shadow's, of your memory The shadows cover the valley's, you've carved deep into my soul. As i melt into the cold depth's of time, i become weak and fraile I begin to drown in the dark tides The one's that roar from the deep reache's of my mind I try, and I try, to see your face, the harder i try The more i think ,the more i think, the less i remember the less i remember, of you, the more it hurts When it hurts, the more i begin too know Your face is there , then it too , starts to melt The more it melts the deeper, i drift. I feel for your hand , but i can reach only nothing Than finally, the pain of numbness comes It rolls out in long waves, from the empty cold, darkness of my torn mind I see you become less and less, until finally, you are no more, a shallow ripple in my mind .
