Memories

Icy blue eyes
The bluish hue of white
Blending with deep sea green
The coldest stare I've ever seen
Rosey red cheeks
Taupe and golden skin
No matter the look
No match to the beauty within
So soft, smooth, near perfection
A voice so soft
Couldn't be more powerful
Shrill, yet sweet and comforting
Clover lips colored blood red
Soft and kissable
Leave memories undismissable
Barely a moment's notice
Stuck with me for a lifetime
Eyes so beautiful
Now remain closed
Cheeks that once held a smile
Now remain resting
That glowing skin
Now pale, will not shine again
The voice that I remember
I will never hear again
The lips that I once kissed
Have felt their last
An embrace that was once so warm
Has now gone cold
Lying in a new bed
No longer aging as I grow old
A single red rose
Clasped in cold fingers
Bathed in tears
As memory lingers
