Loved, Loved Again

memory is calling 
living has turned 
to haunting dreams
they seem to call out
whispering her name
an invitation to be loved again
in the midst of
all the dreams
that can't come true

as her last breath 
brushed upon my face
her last touch weaken
on my arm
despair and depression
have made me promises
they will keep
unlike the ones 
I can't make to her

her last words still ring
I love you
my love forever 
in the moment of death
I caught her last look
I saw myself in those eyes
I saw love
and a future 
that wouldn't be

one careless moment
and the brilliant color
           of love
becomes black
lonely prevails
it wins
leaving
just a longing 
to be loved again
by her
