All a memory

     Still a dream reminds
the pictures of yesterday. Photos
drifting in wind.

     One, just one, more look.
A distant gleam in eye. Yes
a moment, I remember, when
my heart controlled.

     Oh how lost, torn I was.
Thought was empty, void of
all emotion. So long ago,
still triggers a tearful
whisper.

     All stays inside. A
blank sheet covers, hides
all film. A fog that
is thick.

    A last goodbye echoes
in the muggy air. Moments
when stepping forward
chokes.

     I remember. One glance.
One passing smile. A light
laughter at how simple I was
to the complexity of who I
thought I loved. So wrong.

    So deadly was the match.
So similar but all a lie
to keep heart believing.

     All a memory.
