The Burden of Memory

Write a poem that could have this as its title.

The Burden Of Memory

I like having pictures of you

I like hearing your laugh in my mind

I like how every night before I drift off I see you

I like your hair and the way it flows so effortlessly

I like your lips when they smile at me


I like everything about you

But there’s one thing. . .

That I love about you

I love what we had

I love how you made me feel

How our friendship

Felt like every other friendship

But more


How every thing you did meant something to me

How I could hear your voice even over email

How I could easily picture us. . . You and I


If I said I loved you

Would you even hear?

If I said not in a romantic way

Would you believe?


If I told you life without you was bland

What would you think?

That I’m head over heals for you?

That I can’t live without you?


What would you think, Damian

If I told you that everything reminds me of our friendship

What would you say?


Because right now all you are

Is a memory

A beautiful, sweet, happy, loving, great memory

But your also a burden

Because


I


Can’t


Get


Your


Words


Out


Of


My


Heart
