The days I spent with you are like a tape I play, rewind, play, rewind, and play. Whenever I remember something new, I feel as though you touched me on the cheek. I miss you as the grass awaits the wind, Or as the morning sky awaits the sun.
Although I look for you in every doorway, I find only the darkness in my heart. You’re the one in whom I most confide, The inner ear I talk to through the day, The flesh I need when I must have my way, The world where I am home when I’m inside. And even more, I find my pleasure, too, From seeing the delight you take in me, The comfort, quiet joy, and ecstasy That it is my gift to give to you.
No matter what our troubles, I still love you that is something that maybe I regret to say, As though a part of me were also you. Life isn’t easy, but I know without you. There will be bitterness in all I do. I feel the broken heaven in my heart, The blight that will outlast the years of healing, The darkness underneath all time and art, The pain that from within there’s no concealing. We were so much in love when we first met, A river that would reach, in time, the sea. We ought not let despair turn to regret, But be through choice what love chose us to be. No love can last except it be through will. Were wastelands in our path, I’d love you still. I went back in my heart the other day, But nothing in there struck me as my own. Strange how life moves on, and what we cherish Turns to something alien in our hands. And later, when we try to comprehend it, It fades into the twilight of our tears. I woke again upon a sunny morning, Alive to what I hoped would be a song. You were yesterday, which I remembered As though it were a year or two ago. So even though that I hate you right now, you always be on my memories. Memories in which I’ll love you still…

This is how we go on life when love is there in time and when that time goes to an end. Those memories that never fade, they always there.

this is a good poem. love the way the words flow.
this is gooooood, Oh my God, she is good. nice poem
very touching….
very well described ….nice
Great poem. I think most people know what it’s like to have memories trapped in their heart and minds, and no matter what you do, whenever you do the things you had once done together, they seem to be triggered. These memories make it hard for a lot of people to move on past the love they lost, but sometimes being able to face these memories make it easier. Facing these memories can make it something you deal with on a daily basis, and no longer have to dread. May be one day all who have suffered heartache will learn how to convert painful memories into memories of great times to have lived, loved, and learned. Great work!
I just want to say thank you for this poem. Im going through what is possibly the hardest thing I will ever have to go through in my life and it seems to only get harder every day, but this poem just reminded me that it will be ok. no matter what happens in life we have to take it as it comes and grit our teeth and bare it but there is one promise that I know will always be kept…..give it all to the Lord and he will take care of it and if you honor him one day you will never have to worry about troubles again.

Just what I when thru, I left my boyfriend, He hurt me so much, I just have memories in my heart that I want to forget, by reading this poem I know some how I be ok and everything will fall in place again thanks for this poem…
Well thought out… words seem to be hard to grasp about this… I don’t know how to describe the way this makes me feel. Sometimes I have so many regrets for the for the pain I have caused people in my life and lately it seems like no matter what I do.. I make a mess of things and the people I care about most… are the ones I cause the most pain… if only.. lots of if onlys .. but… I can’t change what I’ve done or pain I’ve caused.
Thank you for this poem.

the memories we make on life with someone that we love is always heart to erase. some how they came back in our minds to hunt us… you said it rigth in this lines.”Strange how life moves on, and what we cherish Turns to something alien in our hands. And later, when we try to comprehend it, It fades into the twilight of our tears.”no matter how life goes on, if you try to fix it or understanded you can’t, just the suffering and the tears on the moment. memories they always there and they never go anywhere. 5 stars
