Enamored Poem by Kathryn Garner

your cold fingers haunt my every breath
my dearest memory
my dearest ghost of love
given only a glimpse,
give me the rest
nightmares for what i barley miss
and still you come from my kiss

don’t linger on my words
don’t give me my memory
ripping at all I’ve heard
but you death wont remember me
and they don’t remember me
I’ve died alone

i cant taste it mingled in your tears
now I’m alone in my thoughts
trapped by the past years
there’s no more of loving you
still I’m enamored
with a heart you slew

your my decaying corpse
among this frost
silent of course
to show what I’ve lost
when spread
I still feel you on my lips
the airs dead
with my words kiss

repeating this stunning goodbye
I watch the world inside
and out of me die
cut roses, few days till dead as you
and I’m as dead as you

I’ve got you written in my mind
and inscribed
engraved in my heart, my eyes
till I’ve become blind
to all but my walking dead
deaf to all
but what you’ve said

bestowed upon my life
mine and your existence
fall to a knife
because no one remembers me
no one remembers you
deadly deaf, and now i cant see
cant see anything
except in death a life from you
holding in my hand
a heart you slew
and now I’m dead as you
