Lady

Tears running down through your confused face
Flashes of memory disappearing
But only your smile erases all doubt
Some memories we wish could vanish,
but I rather feel pain from them than
never knowing they existed
Your cancered memory is my greatest pain
Still beautiful in your own pain
There is nothing hard enough
than the stillness of your withering
Wishing to hold on to your own brain
squeeze the drowning memories out
There are days I wish I could pretend,
but great pain won't allow me to be fake
I alone remember all my wrong doings
and I'm being paid back with this
dwelling depression of a memory gone
I wish you could stay...
But my love I wish you could go
Wishing you alive is my deepest hearbreak
I dream of a lady with the greatest strength
So much turmoil conquered, so many tears wiped,
many laughs which cured invisible pain...
Grandma, I wish you could remember me again.
