Bittersweet memories...

by Ash   Jun 28, 2008


Bittersweet memories are what I hold true,
Of the times when I listened and every word you knew.
Never once thought that I this bond would break,
But times change and we're sometimes forced to wake.

Not once realizing when it did start to change,
Sometimes feeling that my own foolishness caused an awkwardness so strange.
But was it my own fault that I became emotionally attached,
Was it really my own fault that this heart you snatched?

Not a single day goes by that I don't recall those memories so pure,
When every word of yours created a barrier so secure.
I silently wonder if you still recall who I am,
That I was the one with whom you'd spend many a time till 10 pm.

I know not what to do with this heart that cannot forget,
Your memories burn me with so much of regret,
That in the end I'm forced along the lines of despair,
And my heart shouts out at everyone : "Please beware!"

For a stranger had once stolen my heart,
And my life had turned to this masterpiece of art.
Where each line and stroke was perfected by only you,
And to the rest of the world I had bid adieu.

Times had changed as fast as thoughts themselves rearrange.
And I'm left pondering if I have the strength to let exchange,
For one day I may manage without you in my space,
And the next I turn back and towards you quickly race.

It's pure insanity that I live this way,
It's not with you that I wish to stay.
For to love one person that cannot share that same feeling,
Is not worth the agony and torture of concealing.

    Hey,
    Wonderful expression of feelings and moments we all have had (if not, then will have!!). You have expressed the helplessness and loneliness that comes with love disappointed beautifully. I recall this moment perfectly...

    This was just breath taking. As if you perfectly describing the feeling. i can really relate to this, and so can much others.

    **Never once thought that I this bond would break,
    But times change and we're sometimes forced to wake.**
    as if it were all a dream, and she was foolish enough to believe it all. i liked the word *bond*

    **But was it my own fault that I became emotionally attached,
    Was it really my own fault that this heart you snatched?** this stays my favourite part. where i got really touched. (if i clearly understood what you were syaing) she feels powerless, and as if it -wasn't her fault-
    it amplifies that sensation of not being able to be in control.

    **I silently wonder if you still recall who I am**
    as if she was forgotten ? O_o" so sad..

    **I know not what to do with this heart that cannot forget**
    the heart won't be able. -trying to forget someone if like trying to remember someone you never knew.- its just not possible.

    **And to the rest of the world I had bid adieu.** XD yay a french word lol . made me smile

    very sweet poem, mixed with sadness.
    loved it, going straight to my favourites.
    ^^ keep writing

    --take care --
