Permanent Mark

Traces on my Skin

My cheeks have been wet
since the day you left
dampening the pain
an attempt to wash it away

your eyes have been here
locked inside my head
when i close mine i can see you
reminding me to keep you here
even if i want to push it all away

no one knows of this silent pain
except you
as you travel with me everyday
letters leaving traces on my skin
evidence of an existence that carries on

pictures speak a thousand words
words that will never leave your lips again
whispers of the wind can't carry them along
but i can feel you on my skin

energy is not created or detroyed
but carries on and on
a continuum you are carrying on
always here and there

energy still touching me
sensitive to the sense of you
as you radiate throughout all
and leave traces on my skin

Mike's dad called me the other day with some interesting things to share.....he has had a picture of Mike and I engraved on his headstone....

My emotions are everywhere on this one... but I think I have come to something.
Mike is forever engraved on my skin....so, I suppose that isn't much different than our picture being engraved on his headstone.
His father said that Mike would have wanted it this way - that Mike wanted to be my partner for the rest of his life.....
I am really in an emotional tizzy around this one, folks...
Although we'd known each other for years...we dated for a month and then had been keeping in touch for another 2 (so about 3 months of serious contact with each other)....
I don't know....
