Darker Days (Free verse) by oneglove
Memories in steamer trunks
Absorbing dirt and grime
The tingeing of their corners
Seem to brighten darker times
Look beneath your memories
Her short black dress, long walks in spring
Look past smiles and bleeding skies
Find your loverâs tear stained eyes
Twin sapphires set in snow
Look like a murder scene
Once they screamed 'I love you'
Now they only scream

The final stanza is fantastic, perhaps 'I love you' should be in quote marks?
'Twin sapphires set in snow/Look like a murder scene'.
8 for now, with a rework of stanza two this will be at least a nine.
