Erasable Lines

Erasable Lines
 
In the dark of light
I struggle with those
Those of whom
I cannot find

Lost in space
I search for days
Looking to reclaim
Anything of the lost
Anything of their face

Vague recollections
Dim reflections
Losing colors
Shapes and lines

Is this all I can find
The inkblots in my mind

When all is lost
To the winds of time
Erode away all
But those seared
Painful memories
Long gone by

Am I fine
When everyone is gone
All faded from my mind
Faces no longer mine

As they fade
Dark becomes light
Erasable lines
