Written by Sarah Doughty
When
I close my
eyes, I see your
beautiful face, lit from
within. I see the brilliance
of your eyes, glinting against the
dying light of the day. Memories flash
before my eyes. All those moments we ever
shared play like movies. I remember you. I remember
us. And what we once stood for. I hold on to
those moments. That’s all I have left of us.
Sometimes, when no one is looking,
a smile will creep into my lips.
Because we were real. We
were right. And
we were
epic.


I’m sure I’m not the only reader who relates to this poem by looking back on her or his experience. I like the prosody by line-length here. (My term for your alternating short and long lines.)
