Your photo
I keep close to me
I look at every day
My heart is
Starting to forget
As the memories
Fade way
Your face
I can not see no anymore
When i close my eyes
Your voices
I can not hear no anymore
When the wind whispers to me
The love inside
It still lives on
Even though you disappear
Fading into nothingness
Not a single memory
Why does my heart betray me
As it lets you slip away
Blurring into nothingness
More and more each day
So this picture i will hold
Close beside my heart
never once will i forget
The only man i've loved

Oh, wow. I really loved reading this. My only suggestion would be to change these lines:
"I can not see no more"
and
"I can not hear no more"
maybe try saying anymore, that would make this poem even better than it already is.
Thanks for entering and good luck!
