Memories-For that is all they are now (Original title)

That silky touch
that feeling of warmth
the love that you brought
will never leave my mind

The smooth caress
the heart of gold
the delicate little fingers
I will always miss

Lying in your arms
gazing into those eyes
kissing the sweetest lips
it had to be love

The curling of toes
the shortness of breathe
the beat of your heart
I can feel it now

Combination of souls
the feeling of right
a place in this world
my happiest days

The heighten of senses
the growing anticipation
but most of all
above all else
was the intoxicating smell
and to think within my mind
that this was poison
drawing me closer to you
and the day I don't smell
beauty as great as yours
will be the last day on earth
for me, the happiest of all

But these are mere memories
stars in the sky
unreachable by my grasp
the feelings bundle up
and fit within a tear
and like your love
they escape my touch
and the emotions are torn
and I am left a shell

Oh to be poisoned once again
I would give the earth
