Reformatting Denied

For the one that even time could never heal in me. I wish you every happiness.

My brain glitches with thoughts of you.

Static,

then your memory.

I wish I could have kissed you more,

I wish that I wouldn't have been to scared to take you back;

that is, when you still wanted me.

I should have taken more pictures.

Blink.
Cut scene.

Why am I so stupid?

It wouldn't be the same anyway.

They say that hindsight is 20/20,

but I think they may be wrong.

I feel like I tend to look back with rose tinted glasses.

I see all these wonderful parts of what we were;

and that's all I can see untill

I go out of my way and strain myself to actually remember

what went wrong.

Flash.

Lights up.
Lights out.

The bad days.

The sobbing nights.

The fear.

And yet by leaving,

I still feel like I let you down.

Static.

White noise.

I promised I'd never give up.

That it'd take more than pain to stop me from

loving you.

As it turns out I was only have right.

Deep down, I really did never give up.

And I certainly haven't stopped loving you.

I've tried so hard too.

Silence.

Fade . . .

and darkness.

I've tried taking myself from your sight,

tried giving my heart to another,

and another,

and another . . .

just to find I could never really take it away from you.

Blink, static.

I wish so much that I could tell you all of this.

Any of this . . .

but it's not like you'd listen any way.

And even if you did,

not like you'd believe me.

Flash, silence.

I cry for you, and I swear my eyes must be bleeding.

Some of the saddest days I've ever experienced, are the days

when I had to hear your voice without joy in it.

Look in your eyes while they lacked your famous happy glow.

And I've met plenty of people who's joy fed my own,

but not a one like yours.

Blink.

Flash.
Static, static . . .
silence.

I'll never forget you.

It has that excellent active-interruption between each stanza of distilled, condensed contemplative emotion. I think that is what makes it stand out; unique among many other things that lay bleeding and wounded upon the backdrop of life. It's a keen image of self that seems a reflection from a finely polished blade. One that has been sharpened by the rigors of unwanted experience and a resolute quest for absolution.

At your request... personally, speaking only in terms that have fluid definitions, as something to read, I judge it worthy. You may find some respite, some diversion/solace around here, Captain. Welcome... and thank you.

Wow, Captain first off Bravo for writing such an amazing and beautiful poem! I really enjoyed reading this awesome poem of yours. You're indeed a talented writer and I hope you continue writing, too dude! Haha. But I can relate to this since I have an ex that at times I'm crying and wishing I could've made the move to win him back. But then there's also those times that I think back to the cause of the break-up between me and him and my heart stops wanting him for the time being. Then the process starts back over the very next day. I think this is an unique poem and how its formation too. The title goes along with it very well, too. I really love the last parts

I'll never forget you." Even though me and him are best friends, I'll never forget those outstanding memories. Great job, Captain! :)

P.S.-This is going into my library! :D

Would be nice to be able to delete some memories. Funny how old memories can sneak up on you. I like the use of the language of computer's to make your point. Thank you for the excellent poem.
