I remember

Tall gray stones

shadow my path

Mist grabs at my feet

and clings to the stones

gray skys block the sun

making the way dark

I look for one

with dates newly etched

holding you underneath

marking your new place in the world

once I am gone

no one will remember

your smiles and grins

that lit a room

no one will remember

your one true love

or the tears you cried

no one will care

your life ended so soon

no one will care why

I hold those memories

inside me heart

and wish that

the burden beloged to someone else

Never a gray cloud

I wanted in my life

quite a few have gathered

my heart break under the weight

and I lose part of myself

memories not my own

swirl in my mind

pain not my own

brings tears to my eyes

I cry the tears you longed to shed
