Never is A Promise (Love story)

* it's a bit long but please read it from the start
---------------------------------------------------------------------

He rummaged through his black box
Where his heart perfectly hidden with locks.
A surge of assorted emotions filled his heart
As he remembered the memories the pictures mark.

He gazed into the pictures one by one
As the ticking clock's hands continued to run.

"Forever you'll be kept in my memories"
Words of him and his girl's once unbreakable promise.
Vow they made in the foolish throes of love,
Shared by the two, deep feelings they used to have.

Whispers in his mind, in hushed voices, called out
Speaking their desires as if trying to break out.

"I will love you with all my heart till forevermore
And for you, my whole life, I shall offer",
Came the words he no longer wanted to hear.
No longer noticed, cascaded down his cheek was a tear.

He closed the box and set it aside.
Went out to let go the sorrows he kept inside.

A night with trickling rain appeared before him
Leaving a shrill silence looming in a sweet hymn.
Great enough to never let anyone see he was in pain,
Never let anyone know what he did for love turned in vain.

A calming presence, the pouring rain had done
Made all the worries of the troubled guy be gone.

Not until he caught sight of someone standing
Amongst the mounds of pitch-black streets:quietly smiling.
Eyes far off into a distance beyond anyone's reach
As if the said silhouette was seemingly bewitched.

He was so immersed in his thoughts; he didn't realize
His feet brought him to a familiar contour and was surprised.

Everything melted, the edges of reality, chipping apart in flecks
When he realized who stood before him that he couldn't even speak.
The person whom he made with the sweet-sounding vow
But had fallen, torn apart as time passed somehow.

He got out from his trance as something roared frighteningly loud.
Everything became clear again, his mind which was enveloped by a shroud.

Suddenly, the girl turned her back at him, walking away
As he recalled when the girl left him: Yes, at that day!
Life had dealt a quite harsh hand upon the two of them,
Striking such fate to whomever it touched; unlucky for them.

"Wait!" the boy uttered from behind, startling her.
The girl came for a halt, slightly showing a little bit of shiver.

"I'm sorry but do I know you?",she whispered, staring back.
A lone tear escaped from his eye as he stayed in his tracks.
His lips curved up into a real bittersweet smile.
"No, I thought you were someone I haven't seen for a while"

He bit his plump, pink lips to suppress his cries.
He knew that was the start to say his final goodbyes.

"Oh! That's quite sad but don't worry you can move on"
The girl smiled back, without any hint of concern.
"Yes, I know and I'm very sorry for what happened"
The girl nodded, began walking away from him again.

Oh yes! He almost forgot. She no longer remembered him for so long.
The sound of their fastly beating hearts was no longer their song.

"You may forget me, my love but never will I forget you
For this love I only offer to you will forever remain true"
His tomorrow with her is now nothing but a mere echo of the past
But still he kept holding on that their promise of love would last.

*it's a story about a girl who got amnesia and no longer remembers the boy..on the other hand, the boy still loves the girl and still waiting for her to come back to his arms...

    Oh wow, I thought it was just another heartbreak story until you said what it was do you just look up random news and write poems about it or was that someone you know, anyway on to the poem.
    I was waiting for a ryhme/stanza to hit me and you threw one right at me.

    Oh yes! He almost forgot. She no longer remembered him for so long.
    The sound of their fastly beating hearts was no longer their song.

    It reminds me of something that has happened to me.

    The length of your poem is extrodinary but in order to make long poems catch someones attention and make them read it(because I think you were giving up on this one) was that the Name/First stanza have to be breathtaking.
    Ive never tried to write really long poems so This is your turf not mine. But it was an ok poem better then ok but not perfect. It seemed forced at times you would randomly lose rythm when you didnt need to but When i saw your profile i thought it said u were 14 idk my eyes might be screwin with me but im 14 to so were both just young bloods in the world 4/5
