Watching Memories Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Silent words of parting never were uttered, sweet
whispers never reached our ears because you were
snatched in a moment from my side.

How can I resist these tears of love continually
flowing from my heart, as I watch memories on my
interior photographic screens.

Loving to see you smile, the way you always would
touch me so tenderly and gently, always seeming to
know when I needed to feel your hand, bringing me
back to the present with you.

Missing your love every moment that I still am
alive, wanting only to die to be with you once again,
yet the only alternative left is living without you.
