Memories, Good and Bad

by Abbie   May 3, 2005


Too scared to get to close
The one I love the most
May break my heart in two
But only If I let you

Hold onto the past, memories, good and bad
Constantly reliving the infatuation we had

If I stay away
In my room I pray
That your love won’t find me
And no pain will i see

Hold onto the past, memories, good and bad
Constantly reliving the disagreements we had

So hurt so much that time
Always saying I’m fine
But still have not gotten over
The fact that you were sober

Holding onto the past, memories, good and bad
Constantly reliving the deceptive look you had

Flashbacks of that night
Are always in my sight
So much that I can’t move on
Despite knowing that you are gone

Hold onto the past, memories, good and bad
Constantly reliving the altering personality you had

The one thing I can’t ignore
What I left behind before
I still can’t face up too
That lingering image of you

Hold onto the past, memories, good and bad
Constantly reliving the temperate you had

I see it every night
No longer can I fight
When I’m with someone else
I still can’t accept myself

Hold onto the past, memories, good and bad
How I long to stop reliving the things that you had

The pain in my heart
Is tearing me apart
Longing to ignore
And be like I was before

Hold onto the past, memories that we once had
Constantly reliving the way you treated me so bad

Broken by your love
Hurt by your pain
No longer can I trust in you
Or anyone else again

    Sorry I re-read that and I read it wrong the first time ignore that. What a moron I am sorry! Great work!

    Very well expressed with so much feeling. The only thing I would change is this line " So hurt so much of the time" maybe hurting so much of the time. The only reason I say that is I think so twice in such a short line is to much. Just my opinion. I think the poem flowed well and you did a great job! Take Care! Brooke~

    An overall very good poem. It had a good flow to it and didn't veer off subject. I liked the idea of the semi-repeated lines in between stanzas although i thought that they could have been better spaced apart (e.g. after every 2 stanzas) but still a very good poem. I think you should be happy with that, it turned out well.
