Memories pulse within
I wonder at the eloquence of thought
I feel the trapdoor open
My thoughts spill toward the sunlit sky
Who are you to invade my being
Why must you come unannounced
I feel the terror of our love
The love that wasn't
Remember this
Times you lied
Times you cheated
Times you caressed my soul
Fingers bold and brazen
Fingers taking and making me yours
Times I wonder at our relationship
The relationship that wasn't
The love I gave was not in vain
I learned many lessons
Remember this
Times you lied
Times you cheated
Times you caressed my soul
Fingers bold and brazen
Fingers taking and making me yours
Memories of you
The tender caress
The light-hearted laughter
The way you held me close
Remember this
The love you gave
The ache of need
The passion and heat
When you left
Part of my heart cried
Part of my heart died
Buried in the ground
Concrete poured all around
Ripped tears from the jugular
Bloody tears pooled around
Drowning my soul
Drowning my soul
I look back at the memories
I see what I did not see
I understand what I did not know
You are not the man for me
You are not my heart nor my soul
You were a dream, for a moment
A nightmare for a time
A memory to have
A love to remember
A love to let go
Remember this
Times I cried
Times I loved
Times I gave
Times I forgave
Remember this
The Love That Wasn't
Memories pulse within
I am glad I remember
All that was and
All that wasn't

ReplyDeleteI believe that we all have lived through something like this... The Holidays bring memories of the good times... I gotta keep it real tho... Sure, I miss him... The negative parts, I don't miss and unfortunately, his package is wrapped securely with all the negatives... I am doing quite well, without them... :) I wish him well...
