The vase from so long ago

Sitting on the table

Where you left it so

Filled with faded flowers

I lift it to my nose

The stench wafts in

And so it thus goes

The memories do linger

I remember it all

The day you left me alone

We fought in the hall

And you stepped out of my life

I didn’t know you would die

I didn’t know how you felt

Or understand why

But I was to late to help

I cannot touch that old vase

It stays where it always is

The loss is a waste

I will always remember
