In Memory Of You

Spring rain pressing on the windowpanes
Wilted roses hanging from strings
Leaves crumbling into the dust of memories
Crying silent tears for the death of a friend

A shower of absinthe flavored kisses
The scent of dandelions on your skin
The bittersweet sweat of promise on the sheets
Obscuring the ghost in the face of a lover

A layer of dust on the bookshelf
Cracked glass in dirty wooden frames
Faded and frayed photos on the wall
In loving memory of you.
