Approach

by Richard Vince

Another familiar face
Fades into the waning moon,
Her identity remaining
Elusive to my tired
Memory.

I wanted her to smile,
But could only make her
Frown, it seems.

Was my perspective
Darkened by the multicoloured
Lights giving hues to a
Pale ceiling?

Maybe I could have
Succeeded if I had said
What I wanted to say,
But my thoughts never
Became words.

Now I am left with
Only silence, ringing
In my ears, keeping
Me awake, preventing
Me from forgetting what
I never quite remembered.

I love the last stanza I just had to read it over and over again!! I would think almost everyone must have felt like this at least once or twice in his/her life. Great read.
