Forgotten Past

Forgotten Past

A Poem by JoeReads

"
It's midnight
were stood around the corner from his house
he tells me "don't move closer or my mum could see"
he holds my hand as i glance into the eyes of the unknown
each breath he takes eager to expel words that were too hard to hear
i could see this by the way he didn't look at me, the way our eyes didn't meet.

"I can't do this anymore" 
my heart sinks to the pit of my stomach
each breath like breathing icicles out of my mouth, cold and sharp like the words he spoke
they say you never forget your first love, and that's true
but knowing that any second you could fall back in love with them
fall back into the forgotten past and start over
is it really worth it? 
it it really the right choice?

when i think back, i see nothing
i can't remember what or who i was before i met him
the reasoning for this isn't that i have forgot,
its simply, i was alive.. but i just wasn't living.

I really like the way you tell this in such a way you are actually revisiting it, from a whole other perspective but writing it from the perspective of being there, and the evolution of heartache. "when I think back, I see nothing" great job!
