MEMORIES

By Aya Pister

I feel the radiance of the warmth of your skin

Close to me, I take a deep breath in.

You whisper in my ear as I let it go

Sending shivers down my spine “I love you.”

Late nights full of moans and cries,

Exploring pleasures divine

Hands and bodies intertwined,

You called me yours I called you mine.

Time, oh so much filled with laughter and tears
Our hearts and our home filled with so many memories.

Memories, I guess that is all that we are now

Each day that passes we hold on to silence as our vow

Barricaded in an empty room

One neither one of dares to open, fear that flowers might still bloom

So we carry on with smiling faces and souls filled with gloom

Nigh-time befalls upon us, which I’ve begun to dread

For you’re no longer sharing secrets in our bed

I wonder who will be holding you instead

I trace the emptiness where your silhouette lies

And finally sleep comes only after the last tear dries

Ever so echoing our last moments and our goodbyes

Who will love me? Who will you love?

Who else out there will ever be enough?

How can you smile?  I cannot laugh

I know that you will move on and that I must

Who will dance with me? Who can you trust?

The door is shutting on all that’s past

The wind cold, the rain is falling a bit too fast

I want to hold on, but I can’t last

Who will hold me tight? Who will play with me?

Who can I annoy?

Such a silly girl I am, you’re no longer a boy

You’ve outgrown my games

The walls are lines with empty picture frames.

Who will carry me and mess up your hair?

Who will dance with me now to the music that’s not there?

How will we find a love with to compare

When we had a love like this

Who will fight with me through all this mess?

Tell me I look beautiful in this dress

Who shower you with all their heart?

And be your light when the world seems dark?

Memories, I guess that’s all we are

I turn to see you but you’re not there

There’s so much now that we don’t share

How will I ever find love again and where?

Memories that’s all we have left

We’re smiling but we are bereft

I touch the place where you once were

No amount of time could ever cure

The loneliness I feel without you here

Memories, oh memories that will not stop

Sinking my soul to an everlasting drop

Our silhouettes walk separate ways

Forever changing all my days

Whispering “farewell”, holding a deep breathe in

Remembering the touch of your skin

Holding back all that I know

Turning around I finally let it go

Memories..they're fading away

Memories of how I wish youd stay

Memories please haunt me in my sleep

You were mine, just not mine to keep.

Memories of how we are no more

Memories....its where we ly

memories....here we die.
