Another place,
Another time.
Another life,
Another mind.
In this life that is not yours
I see your face.
In this body you never poessed
Of you I find
a trace.
It’s your lips.
It’s your eyes.
It’s your voice.
It’s the line of your jaw.
It’s the shape
of your body.
But it’s not you.
It’s so close
And yet it’s
not true.
A constant reminder
In adds… on TV…
To always remind me
Of how good it
used to be.
Your voice is coming from the speakers.
Your face is on every screen.
But still I cannot feel your touch
Because life
is so very mean.
I’m being taunted.
I’m being reminded
That you’re
one with the dirt.
I’m so afraid to forget you.
I know you weren’t exactly like him.
I want my heart to stay true,
And my memories
to never dim.
I miss you so,
The pain won’t go away.
I don’t know what to do
Without you here
today.
Please lend me a guiding hand,
From where ever you are.
For I will always love you…
Near or far.
