Will You Hold My Tear

 

Today you are there,in blood and flesh

Tomorrow you will be a memory

Sometimes it is so surreal,almost like a dream

But I know I will have to set you free

The solitary rose that you gave

A prelude to the candlelit dinner and a long evening

Carefully pressed and kept in a book,saved

Will wither in ash, staining the page

 

I balm myself….saying,it will never work

This is just like a passing season that flees

Our love will shrug itself like a tree in Fall

Except I will be the one holding the fallen leaves

Save my tear and hold it forever in your hand

I will save your imprint on my pillow and hug it always

I know the tear will drop and so will your love for me

But I will cradle your memories till I am set ablaze

Carefully pressed and kept in a book,saved

Will wither in ash, staining the page

^ even the stain would be a part of memory…

Well written!!
