For You

I'm trying to remove you from my mind, because I need to repair my heart. I need to fix myself, and I'm being stupid yet again.

I didn’t notice you at the start,

Too busy watching my surroundings,

The faces of others, characters of them,

Trying to impress those I didn’t need to,

 

A week ago, I didn’t know you existed,

Today you won’t leave my head,

That impish smile, and easy going nature,

On repeat in my messed-up memory,

 

Clinging to anyone who shows me time,

Speaks to me and listens to my quiet words,

My heart takes hold, and my mind tries to release,

But again, my heart is winning the fight,

 

I didn’t notice you at first,

Not when I had my eyes on others,

On dreams and goals of my own,

And the warnings of others,

 

But your guitar sticks in my mind,

The smile that was so easy to produce,

The offer to come travelling again,

The way you gave me some of your time,

 

Stuck on repeat in my mind,

I try to erase those pictures,

But they don’t want to leave,

But they need too, it only makes sense,

 

I didn’t want to write this piece,

But I need to get you out of my head,

I didn’t want to think about you like this,

But this is my last solution,

 

My messed-up mind, and nature,

Wants to heal to be right for someone like you,

To be okay, to dance in the sunshine,

To be the girl that laughs freely, for you.

It's never too easy to erase someone from your memory.. It takes a whole lot of determination and distractions for that to finally occur...
I liked how you conveyed the emotions here, simple and straightforward yet effective way...
One thing though. This line here:
"But they need too, it only makes sense,"
should be "to" instead of "too"..

Well penned :)

I liked this poem. Had the feel of listening to secret thoughts.
"My messed-up mind, and nature,
Wants to heal to be right for someone like you,
To be okay, to dance in the sunshine,
To be the girl that laughs freely, for you."

I loved this! Again, your emotions are so tactile in your writing, like in general, I love it!
