Where Laughter Lived
Do not come looking for me in
small corners of our house
I am not there
The vast space we occupied
where laughter lived
I left behind
The still place in our bed
once radiating love
I sense its cold
Photoless frames, shattered glass
a myriad memories
I will forget
Do not try to find me in the yard
or in the snow of blossom
I once loved
Forget you ever knew the wrinkles
around my mouth and eyes
I crumble
Do not try to memorize my face
know it will fade in time
I lost you
In any place you find me drifting
remember in your heart
I find you

Don't look for me
in obscure corners
I am not there
The vast space we occupied
where laughter lived
I left behind
The still place in our bed
once radiating love
now bitter cold
Photo-less frames, shattered glass
myriad memories
I will forget
Don't try to find me in the yard
snowed under apple blossoms
exhilerated
Forget you knew the wrinkles
around my mouth and eyes
I crumble
Don't try to memorize my face
know it will fade in time
I have lost you
Anywhere you find me drifting
keep me in your heart
I miss you so
