Love Poem: Moment of Rest

Moment of Rest

you died a long time ago the girl I once knew will never exist to live again 
as seasons change and we draw  to fall your memories
no my memories of you just blow around the confides of my mind 
all the precious moments me and that girl shared
just like the autumn leaves just soaring through my memories 
I try to catch each one and grip them with dear life, 
see those memories nourished the tree that gave me life for this reason alone 
I kept collecting those memories but like the leaves of autumn they’re all dead 
never able to give that tree life again
the seasons continue to pass and winter suddenly draws 
the wind become cold and harsh like your final good byes 
that icy grim touch just froze that tree in time 
you carved that special day onto the body of that tree 
then buried yourself right in front of me leaving me behind 
but I never let go of those dead autumn leaves 
I just sat in front of the tree that u scar'd and left frozen in time 
I closed my eyes one last time and whispered Your name with one final goodbye
