Echoes of Grief

by james-zollern

Though you've left me, lost not found It is your voice I hear around Silence of sound permeates this room A life remembered, hearts filled with gloom All friends and family gathered 'round I can't bring myself to make a sound A love undying; a heart felt broken I lie awake with arms wide open In the dead of night, I witness your embrace I feel your breath upon my face I dream once, and dream again Your love I feel, though not like then As these ghosts of our love surround My memories open my heart abound Echoes of our love remain Grief and silence, sound and pain Those sapphire roses that I once bought Say thee nothing, they were for naught All the thoughts of which I find The echoes of your essence remind I see you not, but hear you there Though in my mind, you're everywhere A love as ours shall remain long and true Even with only echoes of you
