May 20th – Remembrance

A new day, a new poem–one, quite frankly, that came out of nowhere. The funny thing is, I’ve been reading mostly romance-y young adult novels as of late, and nothing like the setting of the poem has ever occured, nor has anything like it happened in my life … ever, let alone recently. I suppose that’s the beauty of writing!

Remembrance

I’m trying to remember

How you looked

The last time I saw you

I’m trying to remember

Your reaction

When I told you we were through

I’m trying to remember

What you said

To show that you’re lying right now

–

I don’t remember you

Crying

Begging me to stay

I don’t remember you

Apologizing

For all the hurt you caused me

I don’t remember you

Promising

You would change

–

I remember

You betraying me

Thinking I wouldn’t find out

I remember

The pain

You didn’t care I felt

I remember

Letting you go

And you running off to your “other”

–

Don’t you dare

Grovel

At my feet now

Don’t you dare

Say

You’ve changed forever

Don’t you dare

Apologize

And tell me you love me

–

I remember

You don’t mean it
