Neglected Poem by Myrtle Glo Oliquino

Remnants of your laughter washed away with my tears
Against the shimmer of moonlight I pray for you
Darkness not quite fading, slowly I'm dying
But you don't realize.

Cold wind blowing against my skin
Freezing the memory of your touch
You held me, but your eyes, they never saw me,
I know they never will.

Music you made lulled me to dream again
Only to wake up nowhere, yet broken once more
Oceans of bitterness knocking at my feet
Ripping out what I have struggled to rebuild.

Drifting gracefully in your world, I sway
Each teardropp glistening against my pale heart
I reach out to you, with love, I couldn't breathe
Following your footsteps still, knowing you'll never look back.
