"Memories"

The volume could break glass
It is so overpowering this silence I hear.

A sound so deafening as to drown the past
I am so tired of submitting to all that I fear...

Dreams are forsaken, but the nightmares still last.
I strive to forget, but the memories appear.

Our love was predestined, but our fate was cast.
You journeyed to heaven; Now my Hell is here.

My love never faded as the years passed.

I gaze at your picture and still shed a tear.
