Dearest memory loss
sadness is not knowing your smile…
not remembering your laughter…
not being able to recall your voice
or to feel your breath you breathed
for I had no choice
you left when I had just a little voice
and now I might not know
your smile
your laugh
your voice
your breath
but I know if I had just a glimpse of what I lost
I’d remember it, completely, absolutely & all…
About this poem
I wrote this around 10 years ago. about the loss of someone at a young age. (Most of the poems I write have no titles. so I never know what to put there.)
