how do I explain this constant consort

never a word spoken, 

though it's all I can hear

memories of you

echo in silent rumination

images inspect what's left of my mind

and it's all I can do to stay sane

how can I manage 

how do I cope

when every face is your face

every smile is your smile

each step that I take

you're right here, right beside me

almost as if you never left.

I remember our laughter

anger and tears,

far reaching emotions

but never this fear

of you gone forever,

never to be ...

~ beautiful piece, dear alisa... i think that what transpires between two people is very personal... and very private and unique... and though there are parts of romance that all of us relate to, there are parts which are esoteric for others but completely clear to the couple... ~ for me, your poem speaks about how the narrator leans on memories -- the weight of which only she can know and yet the reader travels to private moments in the reader's life... and reflects upon reading your infinitely poetic words...

Hello serah,

I have missed reading your words and thoughts. Thank you for your kind comments.

In my never to be humble opinion, I think there are those certain ones that happen in your life.. maybe once in a lifetime, if lucky....

... and you are never the same again.

sigh...

~ my privilege, dear alisa... ~ i read this beautiful piece so many times and it took me a while to find the words to express precisely what it was that made me go on a journey of my own each time i read this piece... it's really so beautiful and so personal... i love it... and yes... i completely agree with you... some people have quite an impact on us... and we are indeed lucky if we've spent time with them... :)

"Constant consort"
This is such a beautiful phrase.
"How do I cope
When every face is your face
Every smile is your smile"
We have all been there Alisa.
You have touched the strings of my heart.
Beautifully penned.

Wow - 'constant consort' what a phrase. And employed in such a way as to convey their presence as both a salve and a curse. Masterful Alisa!
"images inspect what's left of my mind..." - you're poetry is powerful.
I worked in IT a few years back. No matter how many times a hard-drive was wiped it always contained ghosts. And in programming - if one wasn't careful one could leave zombies in the system (little snippets of code that took up the vital memory space). Your poem here recalled those phenomenon.
Keep writing my friend.
I got your 'back'
