Remembering

Remember when I thought
     You will not let me be!
Well, here we are
I am near – and you so afar –

And there is nothing more
      that we can say
– there’s only the silence of tears drying away –

But I still remember
      when joy left my life –
your words hit my heart
     like a rusty knife –

And there is nothing more
      that we can do
– there’s only the emptiness of forgetting you!
