Words of Loss

Hand written love notes
from no one
smeared like roses
across your pillow
bed sheet hand prints
lingering smell of rain
dead skin dust collects
on a dresser not opened
for millions of seconds.
tears leak out of the ceiling
to stain a picture frame
filled by your loved one lost
memories like children's laughs
collect on your skin like dew
memories locked away, face blank
it's so hard to remember
it's so easy to forget.
