Discarded
Discarded
Every night I
whisper
My secrets to you
And every night you are
smiling,
Your body paused in time
I keep a rose by my
bed
To remind me of our special nights
And a napkin from our
picnic times,
Memories worthless without your presence
My
friends offer useless advice
To stop me from watching
The clock
on the wall
And hearing your voice
Echoing in the hall
Days
to months and months to years
No messages of you
Time was so
meaningless and yet
I forgot the memoirs of you
With a rose and
a napkin
I discarded you.
