THE LAST MEMORY OF YOU - A CREEPING PAST

Each memory of you
Pays every pain due.
A hurt I tried to erase
But it's etched in my heart to my last days.

It's just like yesterday
Picturing how you were held
With every emotion propelled
Time slows as the clock ticks away.

I see you laugh hard
To a familiar joke as if never heard.
I see the devil dancing in his eyes
And you surrendered to a hand twice my size.

Can I just walk past
To save my heart a stitch?
But no, this creeping past
Is shadowing every light cast.
