Aunt Hilary

The burn in my eyes,
From when the tears slide through,
Stains my faint memories,
Of what's left of you,
You left some time ago,
And i wish i knew,
What was to come

My stomach pangs,
When i recall your voice,
You were swept away,
And i had no choice,
But to say goodbye,
Without a noise,
You were gone

A whisper in the wind,
Time flew past,
But i clung to the memory of you,
Trying to make it last,
Just know you're not forgotten,
Even though some might ask,
Who you were

A breath from the sky,
And i know it's you,
A kiss from the sun,
That's only your kind of true,
The sweet splash from the sea,
They all give me a clue,
You're all around me,
I know you've found me,
I love you Aunt Hilary

My aunt Hilary died 8 years ago. She and I were very close, I saw her almost every week. After her sudden death i was shattered.
The saddening experience gave me the words for this poem.
