Memories seem to fade, <br />Memories fading away, <br />Memories of your love, <br />Memories of a hug. <br /> <br />Memories of your deep blue eyes, <br />Memories of star filled skies. <br />Memories of your kiss, <br />Memories of true bliss. <br /> <br />Memories that you'll find, <br />Memories I left behind. <br />Memories of you and me, <br />Memories of the old apple tree. <br /> <br />Memories of your smile, <br />Memories I want to hide. <br />Memories of firefights, <br />Memories of those who died. <br /> <br />Memories with no emotion, <br />Memories of your devotion. <br />Memories that sometimes sting, <br />Memories of our wedding rings. <br /> <br />Memories hung out on a vine, <br />Memories of good red wine. <br />Memories that you built, <br />Memories of guilt. <br /> <br />Memories of my fears, <br />Memories of tears. <br />Memories in my heart, <br />Memories that tear me apart. <br /> <br />Memories of today, <br />Memories that drift away. <br />Memories deep inside, <br />Memories I want to hide. <br /> <br />Memories of a crackling fire, <br />Memories of desire. <br />Memories of this war. <br />Memories I want no more.<br /><br />Philip Lore<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-memory-seems-to-fade-in-iraq/
