Don’t You Remember?

Don’t you remember?

When we would dance

to TV tunes

Looking like lunatics,

in our flamboyant,

 flashy costumes

And even though

all you wanted was rest

Still, you found strength

to twirl me through

the twisting  tunnel

that is my life.

Don’t you remember?

When your car was a concert

 Belting out Beatles songs,

I’d weep of laughter

You’d grin and beam

When inside,

Your troubled heart

was the picture of pain

Don’t you remember?

The last time I fell

Tears streaked my face

Sorrow was my soul

And you held me close

Your words the lyrics

To the song

I still sing

“ its ok to fall,

 it’s the only way

 you’ll learn

 to rise”

Don’t you remember?

When that girl,

Was only

a demure spark

Slowly,

 She’s matured

Now,

 she’s a luminescent fire

At times,

She stings your skin

She burns your heart

At times,

All you desire

Is for the fire

To transform into

That tiny flame

She once was.
