Shapes
borderless shapes
shapes and indefinite shades
are slowly coming back to me.

Shades
blurred shades
shades and bits of color
are all that come to my mind's eye.

Colors
dull colors
colors and images
are depicted in my head.

Pictures
brittle pictures
pictures and old movies
are recalled to my consciousness.

Take those Shapes
Take those Shades
Take those Colors
Take those Pictures
The collection of the senses grow into
Memories

Memories
vague memories
memories of my past. Nay- our past.
good and bad. There's not much left.

Bliss
sweet bliss
our time I will cherish
in fondness and thanks.

Mistakes
dumb mistakes
your mistakes are a teacher
and I have learned an important lesson.

Lessons
valued lessons
a lesson I learned from you
is to only love those who deserve it.

Regrets
deep regrets
regret and remorse
I pray you feel when you think on me.

Feelings
no hard feelings
I hope you discover yours
and no longer bury them deep down.

Goodbyes
bittersweet goodbyes
you finally shut me out
cold, harsh and to the point.

Friends
dear friend
to you I will no longer be
just a fleeting, vague memory.
