Memory

I wake up on this cold, frosty morning

Sunlight glitters off dewdrops

The air is cold and still.

I watch as the city begins to wake

Slamming doors, starting engines

The day begins again.

I withdraw from my window and its view

Saddened by the ignorance

Nobody seems to care.

I think of that bridge--it held life and death

Weighing your life--you said worthless

What a horrible lie.

I stand frozen before your memory

Wishing myself gone instead

But I won't let you down.

I say that, but I constantly fail you

I will try, but I fall down

I'm sorry for everything.
