Image for the poem always

always

   
all hope's roses died    
dried & withered    
each petal fell to the ground    
washed away in a torrent of sorrow    
   
my tears frozen in place    
salty reminders    
of a woman time forgot    
   
left behind in the wrinkled bed sheets    
of yesterday's passion    
blurred on your periphery   
   
a character cast in a play    
of the dull day to day    
& slowly i fade    
into the background    
where you lost me    
   
little pieces of my beauty    
you kept to remember    
how it once was    
until those were all that was left    
   
you looked at me    
like you didn't recognize me    
because i no longer resembled    
the bits you kept    
   
weep for us my heart    
for we have fallen asleep    
inside of our love    
& there is no tomorrow    
   
so i cried like a child    
long & hard    
for a love that died    
murdered by circumstance    
& buried in the laundry    
   
i know we still exist somewhere    
another time    
& place maybe    
when life didn't take so much from us    
with two halves    
so desperately trying to make a whole    
   
just know i'll always love you
