Moving On

Moving On

They say that you never really move on,
that it'll always pick at you from inside.
That the feeling will grow and grow,
and in your heart it will reside.

They say it always hurts worse
when it was made from a love that was strong,
But I'm gonna be the one that's different.
I'm gonna prove them wrong.

See, I've gone off and met somebody else!
She's amazing in so many ways!
I can't keep my eyes off her
or her deep, beautiful gaze.

This is so perfect! I can't wait to see
what this relationship will bring!
Wait...did she...? Oh, I remember that...
...That used to be our thing....

This isn't right, no not tonight,
don't let it come...this feeling...!
I'll win this fight, the pain despite!
She will be my healing!

They come nonstop, I cannot drop
these memories that I hold.
Of you, of me, what we used to be,
Those special times of old!

A familiar burning, feelings returning,
thoughts of what we had...
No longer discerning, just an unquenchable yearning,
a fire, that's driving me mad!

The struggle dismisses, the fight remisses,
as my heart bids the other adieu.
Sensual kisses, sweet reminiscences,
I can't stop thinking about you!

Your smooth guile, your perfect style,
your personality, so versatile.
Your beautiful eyes, the ultimate prize,
though you're young, they show you're wise.
The places we went, they represent
the memories of time we'll spent.
And none would exist, whenever we kissed,
this shows how much you're truly missed.
But we're through! You're missed? It's true!

I do! I do! It's true! It's true! NO!!!

And they say that you never really move on...
That it'll always pick at you from inside...
That the feeling will grow and grow...
And in your heart, it will reside.

They say it always hurts worse,
when it was made from a love that was strong...
I thought that I was different...that I could beat it....
...But I was the one proven wrong....

    HI and welcome to PnQ!

    I really liked your poem, you have an nice control over language and your rhyming meter is nice and controlled, I have to say that....

    "They come nonstop, I cannot drop
    These memories that I hold.
    Of you, of me, what we used to be,
    Those special times of old!"

    ^^^^^^ This I REALLY like :)

    Nice poem and one that used descriptive writing very well my only minor critisism would be to kill off the Capitals at the beginning of each line, unless its after a period or its a name etc - I hope you dont mind the critique but it detracts from this impressive write.

    5/5
