Were you just a dream?
Or are you a memory?
You certainly aren’t reality now
But forgetting isn’t easy
Black and white photographs
Faded and folded
Of our smiles and laughter
A love beginning to mold
Clearer pictures in color
Vibrant and new
Of tears running down my face
The door slamming behind you
You left me no time at all
To say my goodbyes
My voice was inaudible
Over my hopeless cries
Now I still have my soul inside
And from thoughts I have not parted
But how will I ever survive
Without a beating heart?
