Faded

Will I one day forget

Like faded glass memories, 

the way you looked

different from the stills

the ink image of shadow 

Darting across the wall, 

or the sound of your breath, 

Quiet and steady in the storm

Will I tuck them away, 

the fragments of my heart 

that you occupied, 

To be sealed and unused 

for the remainder of my life

To be an impression of you

Against the shadow of my soul
