Memories On These Walls: Poem by Sherry Painter

The memories of you are etched into the walls around me,
They suround me,
They hold me in place,
Not letting me go,
And continue life as I sould,
They are keeping me bound to this one place,
This one place that was once so fill with YOU,
But now it's emptie,
Emptie of you,
Your smile,
Your love,
You wonderfully good heart
Your shining soul.

Cleared of it all,
nothing is left here but the memories you've left behind,
Behind for me to live in,
And never to be forgoten
You will forever be in my mine, my heart, and in these walls.
