Memory

03/03/2021 - Poem a Day Compilation



I’m starting to forget your voice

Sometimes I hear it in my head

And it doesn’t sound real

Just my memory of how you sound



There’s something in a voice

That holds the character of a person,

A whisper of their soul

That can’t be found anywhere else



The inflections that reflect their smile

The pauses and the rushes of words

That sing as they speak

And warm the heart of everyone who hears



When I remember your voice

It’s not quite you

But it’s all I have left

Because you’re not here anymore
