"Memory Lane"

by: Eric Wells

I doze of to the reckless thoughts of your death,

The splatter of your Ora leaking

Stains my memories

Then I wonder,

What sins did you atone for, In your passing?

If the matter even matters....

Though my tears prove otherwise

When my soul cries

To honor your memorial,

A smile lost to the burial

Due to the metal buried

In a story untold,

And though words were never said

I can still recollect everything you once shared

Now to this day

Your words continue to flow through my veins

For, these tears that drop from my eyes

Never fall in vane

Because I understand that heaven has reclaimed you

But be that as it may

I must say

My opinion stands

For, you left to soon......

Marking the calendar with fears of the phone call

From that night

And the fright it brought

My thoughts shiver

To the conformation of the passed information 

Of my nightmares taking root through my brain

To damn real life

But being realistic,

How can I complain?

Because it was you struck down

In the prime of related eyes

Dying, killing a bit of all us with grief

Without relief......

As time goes on?

Still captive to the pain that remains

Along side the hatred,

To a sensible target 

To which we need to point the blame

If such a thing exist?

Either way, still existing are the mourning souls

Trying to express how you are missed

I weep from the farewells spent to,

Through the pine

With the unsettling shame

Of never being able to tune your attention

With the call of you name

Years Later......

My mind rewinds to that day

I struggle to cease the war raging

But in the mist I find a place

To wish this

*Rest In Peace*
