Do I Ever Cross Your Mind?

A poem about a past love.

“Do I Ever Cross Your Mind?”

In my mind, I just can’t

Seem to leave you behind.

 

When we parted ways,

To me you weren’t kind.

Constantly your comments

About me were snide.

 

We were best friends,

Seeing each other

For 18 years,

In you I thought I

Could always rely.

 

Even if you fell in

Love with another;

In me, you could still confide.

 

In work, in play, in love

And in just about everything,

My trust in others is

Now contrived.

 

That I’m still

In love with you,

Is the central point

That I constantly

Try to hide.

 

For so many years

Our life was so complete,

Filled with the sweetest memories.

If you tell me you don’t recall,

I’d know it was just a lie.

 

Forever

To one another

We’ll always be tied.

 

I see your eyes gaze at me

When you see me

All others can see

The fire that’s still alive.

 

I bet each night we

Dream of each other

When we close our eyes.

 

Do I ever cross your mind

When you think of

The Life You

Left behind?

Wow, really loved this. Agree with chloe, this definitely could be a song. Really moving, and....wistful or something like that. I like the simultanious confidence and frailty it portrays and can definitely identify with that. well done again lady! xx

The last line gave me chills, absolutely lovely poem!

[Abdul Aziz]

There is an earnest, albeit forlorn tone in this poem. The sadness is very palbable, and the poem is emotionally rich. There are a few really good lines here! And the repetition of the title line gives the poem a haunting effect. I think the English can be improved in a few places. It seems a tad labored. I quite like this poem, nonetheless, and it deserves much more than its current rating.
Good job!

beautiful, even though it's sad :(

[Julijana Velichkovska]

Beautiful poem about friendship!

[Fran Marie]

This indeed sounds like it could be a country western song
very lyrical in its verse and sad in content~ of a once love
wondering if he still feels the same for you~ Great PeN!!
