Six Feet Deep

the way you move
the way you talk
all captured 
as photographs

the way you laugh 
the way you cry
forever caught
as memories

but memories and photos 
are all I have,
because between you and me
all that remains is a broken friendship

your gaze
your smile
will burn in my mind

your name
your scent
I will never forget

in vain for six feet deep you stay
forever this way

This is awesome. Never think my poem is not good. All poems are expression of thoughts, they stem from within, no poem can ever be bad. I found yours better than many others I read at poetry soup. Looking forward to reading more of your poems.
