I'M Frightened I Will Forget You. Poem by Rachel Loveday

They say that time's a healer,
they believe this to be true,
But the fear is ever growing,
That I'm forgetting you.
 
the days they bring more sunshine,
After years of pelting rain,
the sun it melts an icy heart,
thawing out the pain,
 
The truth is, I am hurting,
Although it's different then before
I hurt 'cause I can't clearly see
The day that you were born
 
For years I had my baby boy,
photographed to mind,
but colours have began to fade,
the years have smudged the lines
 
I urge my brain to focus
and wish my teary eyes could see,
its as though I'm wearing spectacles,
that don't belong to me
 
My memories like a ball of twine,
Unravel day by day,
Each step I take unwinds some more
and my memories fall away
 
My mind it tries to taunt me
How could I forget your face? ?
But my heart it warms to prove to me,
that this is not the case.
 
My human mind might fail me,
as human minds will do,
but my heart will forever hold intact
the love I have for you
 
I love you baby boy
