Poem - Remember a Day

REMEMBER A DAY, NOT SO LONG AGO,
PERHAPS IN MAY - OR SOME MONTH OF SPRING,
WHEN WE MET – OR WAS THAT WHEN YOU LEFT?
MY MEMORY IS NOT SO WELL THESE DAYS YOU SEE,
MAYBE YOU CAN HELP REMEMBER THAT DAY FOR ME.

I WOKE UP THIS MORNING
WONDERING WHY YOU WENT AWAY,
I TRIED AND TRIED BUT YOUR WORDS TO ME,
NONE CAN I BRING TO MIND.
SO I DECIDED TO INQUIRE,
IN AN ATTEMPT TO RECALL:

DID WE PART ON GOOD TERMS
OR DID TEARS STAIN THE PATH WE TREAD?
WAS IT A NECISSARY MOVE?
OR WERE WE PLAGUED BY FEAR AND DREAD?

I AM STRUCK WITH CONFUSION YOU SEE,
IF SEPERATION WERE THE SOLUTION,
WHY IS IT NOW I FEEL,NO SENSE OF ABSOLUTION –
ONLY A NAGGING FEAR,
AN IRREPLACABLE LOSS,
A GROWING CERTAINTY,
OR OUR UNCERTAINTY.

MAYBE MY INABLITY TO REMEMBER
IS THE FUEL TO MY FEAR,
SO PLEASE MY DEAR
TELL ME OUR STORY ONCE MORE –
SO THAT I CAN TRY
AND REGAIN MY LIFE,
MY DREAMS, MY SOUL.

REMIND ME AGAIN
WHY WE CAN NO LONGER BE?
WHO WAS AT FAULT?
YOU OR ME?
DID WE TRY ONCE, TWICE OR
JUST LET GO?
MUST HAVE BEEN DIFFICULT –
THE BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES,
SO MANY YEARS AGO.

WHAT THE CAUSE COULD BE
I CANNOT FATHOM,
HOW LOVE CAN JUST GO –
I CANNOT IMAGINE.

PLEASE MY DEAR,
YOUR WORDS, I AWAIT WITH DESPERATION,
BEFORE YOUR IMAGE, ONCE SO DEAR,
TO MY DELICATE MEMORY,
BECOME YET ANOTHER OF LIFE'S HALLUCINATION
