I only exist in her memories

I only exist in her memories

Forever in the past

Fading slowly 


I have new roommates 


My space shrinks 


As she makes new memories 


Forgetting me a little everyday 


The lives I have touched have touched me back

The lives I have touched have touched me back

My gaze into the future is not my own

The scars I carry are not from battles I have fought


I live many lives today I will die many deaths

The broken heart should never be healed

The broken heart should never be healed. It is whatever remains of the heart that once was. The mended heart is something else, of someone else.

Graves of immortal angels

In the hollow eyes of a dying man there are graves of immortal angels

When life begins to recede

When life begins to recede

The body does not know 

It  is only in the ever dimming light in the eyes

And in the fast fading crimson sunset


In time’s persistent accounting of lives touched


In the souls preparation to say good bye


The eternal night looms near

A forever repenting heart
