Time, loss and the Thief of Memory

I thought decades healed me of your passing,

But it still burns painfully inside of me,

A rage, an anger at loss, robbed of love,

Your face is featureless now in my mind,

Time places a veil over all memories,

Is it healing, or is it a time bomb,

I have depleting moments left of us together,

All that remains tangible is,

This intense fire within.

That will never go out.
