Memories Poem by Caroline S. P. Keller

I see your face
Down the hall
Hanging up
Pinned on a wall

It is silent
But I can hear your voice
Persuading me to come closure
Leaving me without a choice

Memories filled my mind
Memories of you
I can feel the tears
I remember them too

The memories of your face
The memories of your touch
The memories of your voice
Oh how I missed them so much

I can hear the pouring of the rain
Going down down down
I shout my heart out
But make no audible sound

My eyes are shut
But my mind is wide open
My soul cries out
And my heart is broken

Everywhere I look
I can see another memory
Here there everywhere
And they always seem to haunt me

I try to run away
Trying to turn my focus around
Crashing into walls
That won’t break down

The memories
The dreams
Will never go away
It seems
