My heart is lonely,
Lost in my memories empty grasp,
Holding together my still breathing lungs,
As if they were locked tight together in a clasp,

My words
Once written,
Once spoken,
Once sung,

Like leafs have fallen away,
Hitting the earth like a mirror,
Shattering on hard cracked clay.
Fade.

As my memory fades.
And life, lost without my love,
or the ones who make my existence so,
Is a life I would rather forgo
