The book of poetry

your memory.

My memories of you are what I call a flash from the past,
It was a part of me that I kept close for the days that I would need you the most,
I remember your face and every little detail it brings but your voice is very faint,
Sometimes it's as if I hear you calling my name in the dark but I can't always tell,
I haven't heard it in so long that sometimes I think I forgot the sound of your voice,
You gram were like an angel the world needed and I was lucky to be in the presence of you,
A smile like yours would turn the darkest sky blue,
The sun would come out from where it would hide,
And everyone around you would be happy and bright,
Your time here was cut in half and to this day I still ask why,
Why did he take you when you were all I had,
You were my reason for living when I didn't feel like staying,
But now you are gone and I feel like my life has come to a halt,
I don't know where it is going because you were my beacon in the darkness of this black-and-white world,
You were my rainbow bridge that would lead to my forever happiness and then that all changed when you crossed that bridge yourself,
Now you dance among the stars and are with those you once lost,
But the pain in my heart will forever remain and that I wish would simply go away,
I wish my daughter would have met you because you would have adored her for she is literally me in tiny form,
Her heart is pure and sweet like mine was too and her willingness to help people is what reminds me of you.
