Immortal Memories Poem by ANNE P LadeeAnne MURRAY

______________________________________________________________________

In my heart, what I thought to be love
Was simply my own desire
So brief...
Gone before time could tell it even happened
Like a whisper
Barely heard in the shadowy stillness of night

I tell myself its over, you're gone
But in the same breath
A voice whispers quietly to my heart
Assuring me that perhaps
You may have really cared

I tell myself it wasn't meant to be
But in my remembering...

I find that thought elusive
Too painfully conclusive

It weaves it's memory in and out
Like a delicate needle sewing it's fragile threads
Delicately twisting them intimately

Amongst the filigrees of my mind
The magic was so mysteriously enchanting
I tell myself its over...
But my heart refuses to listen

My mind says to forget you
That noone's worth this kind of sadness
My soul doesn't need this heartache
I tell myself I didn't really care
That it was all just a momentary illusion

But...
I never did lie very well
