silent candle

The time ticked silently upon my wall
  as the black cat paced quietly at my window sill,
  Quiet, like the candle that I burn in remembrance of you;
  In remembrance of us when our love was new,
But now the seams of our love are worn and torn like
  the curtains  that were never changed,
  And the warmth of your eyes have grown cold;
  Colder than the emptiness that fills your place in my soul,
The home that once played the music of life
  is now dead and weeps silently in the night,
  Within the songs that we shared I can hear your breath,
  and feel your touch, soothing like watching the candle
  That burns next to your portrait,
The portrait I painted
  in reminiscence of the story we made
  before you said goodbye,
I remember the white gown you often wore 
  the gown I now hold in bed at night,
  to recollect the scent of love and memories,
  memories that will forever live
  as the time ticks silently upon my wall,
  and the black cat paces quietly at my window sill,
  Quiet, like the candle that I burn in remembrance of You;
  In remembrance of us when our love was new.
