The Words You Said

I saw his picture today

And for one moment,

My heart cease to beat

And fire, sweet fire, burned my cheeks.

 

My lungs refused to breathe

As my palms began to sweat.

Unshed tears no longer remained inside,

Along side dignity and pride.

 

For just one moment in time

I let my heart remember

A love born, bred and dead

Because of the words you said.
