Where we congregated.

by Poet on the Piano   Feb 6, 2015


I'm having trouble breathing again.
I guess I believed these lungs would fill
with more of me and less of you,
filtering through my veins, my brain,
your memories sting and I can't wipe
them clean.

Would it have been better to never have met?
Never burdened you with secrets you couldn't
forget?

When words were only hushed between
the two of us, I had everything -
why are we stained with memories,
what do we learn, what do we gain
when we know their colors won't last forever.

Would it have been better to never have met?
Never burdened you with secrets you couldn't
forget?

We're in a late bloom, love.
They say seasons come and go, and that
our season was temporary, but you affected
me. So much that the storm in me rises and
falls to the sound of your heartbeat...
I can barely be calmed without you.

This silence should clear my mind, help me
run a new life, but my feet are still stuck
in our past and I'd rather never know
then know and have to drift away.

Would it have been better to never have met?
Never burdened you with secrets you couldn't
forget?

Why do I feel you so strongly, here?
Why can I not be numbed by oblivion?
Why haven't you let go of me,

Yet?

I cry because I can't let go,
because some part of me is not ready
to go,

Yet.

    Oh wow...this touched me....
    Its such a beautiful, beautiful write...rally good...excellent.
    I don't know why I somewhat felt a little nostalgic reading this....although ya you write this for some lover perhaps but I reminisced moments with my best friends....haha haha....

    I loved the refrain....i perfectly relate to it....

    Sometimes it does feel as wouldn't it be so much good if we never meet some people because reminiscing all those joyous, happy moments brings pain and fills us with sadness....we sometimes end up forgetting all the good happy times and only remember the sad ending...and wish why did we ever meet....
    Was it a blessing to have such perfectly happy moments with you or was it a curse that is still hanging on me to still be stuck in that time and not being able to move on.......

    And I loved the burdening with secrets part too...cause you sometimes just wish you never told people some secrets because now your secrets are haunting them and they are sad to know the secrets and they are burdened with the weight and sort of living your life knowing your secret and they cannot forget it cause its dark....

    I life this paragraph too...
    Yes, why do we still seek for love and friendship and relationships and all of it when we know none of it going to lady...cause nothing lasts forever..we Hope for forgets when we perfectly know that the idea if forever is a lie

    Oh I love this poem so much...it seriously does excel....
    Awesome..well done
