Aftermath

Something I found from an old little book of attempted poetry in high school. It wasn't filled with many fond memories as you can see.

Oh, to dream a little dream

But you've kept yours buried

Locked and shunned

Like the love you once carried

Hold me tight

Destroy me one smile at a time

Smother me with emotion

That fury divine

Push me away

Down into that cold, mournful place

What better way to forget

A much beloved face.

Author's Note

I do believe I first wrote this just after my sixteenth birthday. It wasn't as "sweet" of a sixteenth birthday that I hoped it would be.

Love the second stanza. Really good poem.

Nice poem!
"Destroy me one smile at a time" - my favorite verse!

reminds me of a relationship I was in. and I do believe that I'm still in it, in a way.

I absolutely adore the second stanza.

i understand you, i don't even celebrate my birthdays, huh. The words of this piece drives the readers emotion profoundly and clearly. I enjoyed this poem much more than your last one. Good work . your rhymes are most enjoyable as well.
