Stories of this world

Original Submission by Tina Tayade

Fade

You were all I had

But you went away

Memories were all I had

But.. maybe they won’t stay

The way you smiled

Laughing like a child

Its all a blurred picture

A fading sculpture

How should I tell

Your story like a tale

When all I remember

Is you fading away ?

I can’t Stop loving you

But you are fading too

I would carve you in my mind dear

Like a piercing reminder ..
