"Killing a Memory"

"Killing a Memory"

by:

Virgilio F. De leon Jr.

I

In my heart where you lie

I find myself reaching till you die

Of a memory fading

yet , I'm desperate to keep alive

II

I find myself whispering to nothing

Raging at the the dying of your light

I find myself hoping

till all my rage can last

III

I keep on grasping on nothing but air

I hear you breathing from nowhere

I know I can save you

but you are dying in me , dying everywhere

IV

You whisper , I am the best part of you

There will be none like me

And I rage at the fact

That things can never ever be

V

So in my heart where you lie

I find myself reaching till you die

by my hand , by my will.

Letting my rage let fly.
