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
