Only In My Mind

The essence of you has drifted off into the mists
No trace is left, no tiny piece for me to salvage
My heart cries out in the swirling fog, searching, searching
My mind wanders to memories, for they are binding me

Is there no way to scrub these images from my mind
To leave behind empty space that doesn't hurt to look at
The torment is unimaginable, so unceasing, unceasing
I close my eyes and drift to sleep only to dream

Alas, alas dear Bridget, the memories are as glorious and gracious in their perfection as the reality they were because they are real, please glory in tem, for you were fortunate to have been granted that gift.

I shudder to think that the loss of a love could be so great. Very eloquent...and sad.

Thank you so much Rhymer...I appreciate all your insight and your compliments. It's nice to know people like you and others realize what I'm trying to say :) Truly appreciated.

To have great poets there must be great audiences too.
