    YOUR MEMORY

    your memory
    is such good company
    i never get lonely
    cause it never leaves
    it's in the whiskey
    that helps me get by
    and it's the tears
    on my face when i cry

    your memory
    is such good company
    it's always there
    standing next to me
    at night it goes to sleep
    on your side of the bed
    in the mourning it's the hangover
    pounding in my head

    your memory
    is such good company
    holding my hand
    walking next to me
    i know it will follow
    me right to the grave
    and be the first shovel
    of dirt in my face

    what a great poem, it truly is....absolutely love the last lines. your writing style is raw, very matter of fact, like hard hitting truth.

    So touching. I immediately pictured someone from my past in my head and your words sort of said it all for me. Lovely and sad....very real.

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
