Walking into the bedroom
I happen to notice your picture hanging on the wall.
Always before,
when I would walk into this room
My eyes would instantly find your picture.
With it,
I would remember each meticulous detail of your face.
The touch of your hands,
The feel of your gentle lips upon mine.
However, it seems that as time goes on
Life seems to intrude upon my memories of us.
Replacing what we are once so wonderfully shared
With what we have now.
Is this the way of things?
Will I soon forget your sweet face?
Your gentle touch,
Your loving embrace.
Will I think of those times we happily spent together less?
Will missing you then be easier as time goes on?
Will I miss our long walks together less?
Our enjoyable chess games… less,
Our passion… less?
Is this life’s way of helping the one who survives
Get past the hurt
And pain Of a loved ones passing?
However, I worry that with each passing day
The memory of times we shared before
Will become dimmer
Until finally,
All I haveIs a picture on a wall.

Wow I really loved it
I adore the poems that start with something that doesn't seem extremely important until the end. I loved the whole thing but line 12 needs to be edited is an extra word. Also line 30 needs a space between (have and is).
