In The Memory Of Love

Poem

By Paul CrockerPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Thank you for attending this most tragic event.

One that no one could prevent.

Its passing was gradual and slow.

Its life filled with self-doubt and woe.

In the memory of love.

Place your hearts upon the pyre.

It is time to light the fire.

May the flames rise in our eyes.

Burn away all the empty promises and stinging lies.

In the memory of love.

Dig your happiness a deep enough grave.

There is no more hope for you to save.

Fill up with distractions of many.

Can one be enough if any?

In the memory of love.

Lashes from lashes, trust from trust.

To leave it now is a must.

In the name of the single, the divorcee, and the widow.

To a better place of respect and understanding may you go.

In the memory of love.
