Pages of Lost Memories

A candle burns
As a lonely tear falls,
A page of lost memories
Is all she can recall.

A flicker of light
Illuminates the face
Of a once bubbly girl
Now a ghost in her place.

The pictures of memories
Aglow in her heart,
Fresh in her soul
From such a recent depart.

An elated smile
And a glimmer in his eye,
The beach where they laid
Off the cool summer isle.

A snowflake that lies
On top of his head,
The winter they met
With such a path ahead.

The pages are turned
Of lost memories indeed,
Floating in the pool
Of the tears of defeat.

I got this idea from one of Tara-Kay's poems... she had just posted on the discussion board for someone to read it and had a brief description of it, and i imagined this poem... well hers turned out to be completely different, but i loved the idea, so i came up with a completely different poem, i hope you don't mind girl! your idea was great!!
