Just a Shadow
I see you, just a shadow
of a memory
in a forgotten house
on countless weekends
that seem to blend together
although your face is still clear as day...
your voice dwindles away
in the recesses of my memories
i see you, as a shadow in a memory
sitting and telling jokes
in forgotten shadow memories
your laughter no longer cold
and back as bright as day
no longer do you rest
in an eternal slumber
i feel your warmth again
i see you, not just a shadow in a memory
on a sad, sad day...
one of the last...
growing cold...
one last ditch effort to see you
before you go away forever..
a last cheek-kiss
a last sentence
forever not just a shadow..
but forever a wonderful memory
for you Old Man Grandpa... I will always love you
