Take down the wind chimes you hung in the hall <br />To catch our dreams lest they fall <br />Take down the pictures and sit here a while <br />With beautiful faces beautiful smiles <br />Wrap up the promises that couldn’t be held <br />Fragile reminders of what was dispelled <br />Wrap up tomorrow where hope had once dwelled <br />Just leave them here, where my heart fell <br />Pack up the stars, pack up the moon <br />For the sun has set far too soon <br />And all that is left is the emptiness <br />Of faded flowers on a wedding dress<br /><br />Alc Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/faded-flower/
