If We Hadn't Met

A poem to finally Cut them away

If We Hadn’t Met 

Sitting here looking at past memories 

These times I want to forget

every captured image 

every little love poem

I now burn in regret 

I wish I hadn’t laughed with you

your laugh then I wouldn’t miss

I wish I hadn’t pressed your lips

I wouldn't now miss your kiss

I wish you hadn’t been so perfect

Until the day you did me wrong  

For now I am A victim 

sitting in regret

I wouldn't be feeling this pain

If we Hadn’t met

You forgot about me easily 

Moved on with such haste 

walked away from all our problems

which are now laid to waste 

 

The burning of our memories 

staring at the blaze 

seeing one last image

but my mind it doesn’t faze 

cupids broken arrow it was one of his best 

An arrow I once saw as strong

 now a scar upon my chest 

I had your name written upon me

our love forever I made a bet

I wouldn’t have made this mistake

If we hadn't met

Nothing left to remind me of you 

moving day is soon

cut you out of my whole life

Leaving the memories of this tomb

If you try to reach me 

just don’t even cast a net

because in my eyes your dead to me

Your someone I haven’t met

A deeply felt poem and nicely structured. I especially like the ending (just a small point it should be 'you're dead and you're someone' as its short for 'you are'). But i hope this isn't the end of the love poems...?

They say "It's better to love and get hurt than to never love at all." I say "Bullshit. Those people have never loved".

Good job at portraying that.

the potrayal of remembering while wanting not to..which usually happens when we try to move on is artfully done by this poem..a 95 from me..thanks for sharing :)

When trying to forget, one can't help but remember :P Your poem was fantastic! I loved the metaphors, like cupid's broken arrow. It was all really well done, and an enjoyable read! Thanks for sharing

omg this reminds me of my first true love. except that i was the one that messed it up not him. but still, it goes without saying, this is an excellent portrayal of what it feels like losing someone you love that really doesnt love you back anymore
