The You That I Remember Poem by Julie Smith

The You That I Remember

Rating: 4.9


Crying in the pallid night
Crying in a dreary sleep
Crying torrid shades of ember
For the washed out faded days
And the you that I remember

My tears await a supreme sign
To tell them dry or keep on running
My blurry eyes contrive a scheme
Of truthful words that cease becoming
And remain a blissful dream

Wishes don't accept objections
Conviction doesn't face projections
Confidence grows into doctrine
With unimpaired withdrawal signs
Until your memory catches mine

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This was inspired by a song called 'Cold' by the Veronicas. I was listening to it all through winter 2015 and now I'm hoping that things will change soon.

This is an excellent song! I actually sang it aloud even before I learnt it was a song. I want a copy of it? ? ?

Love your style, Julie. Great poem. Especially the lines: Crying torrid shades of ember/For the washed out faded days. Julie, have you considered transforming this poem into a song? I think it would make a good one. Congrats on Poem Of The Day. Well deserved.
