Faint Memories Fall

With one word
My heart has snapped
In two
In one careless gesture
my grin fell
to the ground
My laugh dissapated
Fading out into the open air
The echo and beat
Your words knocking on my eardrum
Though not spoken
Rather typed
They still echo
As if they weren't
And faint memories fall

Faint memories fall
Glowing in the darkness
Precious snowfall
Tears freeze to crystalline ice
Shattering once
Shattering twice
Skin frozen
Lips blue
Eyes wide open
Full of rue
And summer gleams
Hot and bright
Cold reigns
Restrictions tight
A whisper of hope
So soft and small
As faint memories fall

Wow that was very nice. Thanks for sending it! If this takes long to post it's 'cause my internet sucks! Keep writing!

You absolutely slay me....I want to say I love you because your honesty is both holy and sacred. Although your words are weighted with aguish, you have done the heavy lifting so those who come behind you will begin to see their way through this abyss of darkness with a flicker of hope that there was one who came before me and she lit my way.

This was sweet, and painful. It awakened a lot of emotions in me.
