And this is how it all begins...
With just an echo
A directed thought
A glimpse of feeling
That something may be
And then it happens
That hope evolves into a temporary bliss
My mind knows this won't last
Yet my heart fights for something more
To soon, it seems; the time has run out
And the small bit of happiness in my life
Has fallen into great peril
Of becoming only a fading memory
I reach out and try to grab it
Clinging to it with all my might
But as I squeeze harder
It dissolves to naught but dust in my hand
And the wind steals it away
Carrying it to some far unknown place
I cry out for it to return
But my efforts are all in vain
Even though it is surely over
I hope some part of me shall remain with you
Be it just an echo
A pleasant whisper in the back of your mind
...And that is how it all ends
Please tell me what you think

the poem echoes of sadness
I like the beginning and end of this poem, the two phrases tie the poem together nicely. It's very descriptive, I'm sorry you have been so sad :
