Love lingers, still and long <br />Like a song that repeats in my mind <br />Drumming quietly like tinnitus, constant, <br />Every morning I awake to the rhythm <br />More quiet at times, but there, incessant. <br />Reminder of a failed attempt <br />That will not quit, will not let me go, <br />Why you? There were so many others <br />Some kinder, more caring, why is it <br />Your melody lingers still, <br />Filling my head with sadness.<br /><br />Bea Early<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/love-lingers/
