YOUR DEATH

dormant feelings
of trust and hope
embedded in some hidden corner
of this wretched heart.

today,
awakened by a nightmare
and followed by some smiling tears.

death is survived by the moments of life;
i had my death of you,
but moments of weakness
bring you back to life.

i watch you moving on with your life,
virtually;
and smile when i see a stranger
with a face like yours;
i knew i would have my death of you;
and you died for sure.
