Walking Alone

Walking alone on this meandering path
not even a shadow of myself by my side
a cloud of silence surrounds me
I hear only my silent footsteps 
as I quietly recite poems about our short lived past

Sometimes I stop, hoping to hear your footsteps too
growing towards my direction to harmonize 
with mine as we walk together and reminisce 
over beautiful memories of all the things we once dreamed of 
but as I hear nothing at all I keep walking ahead
thinking that you might have left me behind

Walking alone on this broken path I wonder 
if your love was an illusion; a mirage
I wonder if I should cremate these memories of me and you
or preserve them as architects of my future marriage

Sometimes I stop, trying to locate you
or at least the place where I lost you
but when I fail I keep walking ahead
hoping that somewhere not too far the paths we follow
will converge and there we will reunite 
and agree which way to walk.....

this was a poignant, introspective piece, and something about it really pulled at me...I thought it was very well written, simple yet layered at the same time - congrats on your win in my contest :)
