I threw your pictures in the fire today.
On the radio our favorite song played.
Flames licking at your image as the paper burns.
The hole in my heart promising many empty returns.
Tears roll down my face, falling from my eyes.
Replaying over and over our final goodbyes.
You told me once you wanted to be in my life forever.
Now it seems like you don't even remember.
The days we spent holding hands.
The laughter we shared, and all of our plans.
But why can't I seem to forget?
Too soon to lose the image of your smile just yet.
The way you looked dressed in the latest fashions.
The nights we spent sharing rapturous passions.
The sound of your voice as it purred in my ear.
The oceans of your eyes, bottomless and clear.
Now as you fade away into the night.
As the last pictures of you finally ignite...
I call your name and you don't answer.
Left alone to die slowly from your cancer.
For all my life, unto my dying day.
From the mists of time hear me say...
Through all the pain I swear this is true.
My beautiful princess...
I'll remember you.
