Broken Verses and Scattered Memories

For Poetry Prompt Contest

I'll explain myself in broken verses and scattered memories 

Even if I don't understand why now we're like enemies 

How did it happen to us after all the love we had 

I couldn't move on from this nightmare, this is really bad 

Yesterday, it's you and me against this wicked world 

I fell but you held my hand and helped me fight the cold 

Yet it seems that yesterday, I never had a clue 

I didn't notice from your eyes if words were true 

So today, please know, I'll try to tell you everything 

Even if it will mean more pain, no matter it will bring 

Even if I don't understand why now we're like enemies 

I'll explain myself in

Thank you for the prompt...I was motivated to write again. :)

First off, the title is terrific. :) The structure, specially, the ending is unconventional but it give emphasis and visual representation of the poem's meaning. As to the content, i think anyone can relate to this. Friendship could sometimes turn sour and the most frustrating part is that when one doesn't know the reason behind it.

I agree. Tanks, Gab.

So beautiful, you create such heart-felt images that show a tender heart done wrong, that somehow remains strong, while it has been betrayed. Another masterpiece.

Thank you. The prompt was so effective that it came as both my beginning and ending lines. I am happy of what I did in this stuff, too.

i like the way you put the letters on the page to end this...and yes, we wonder what happened?

so close one minute and then like mortal enemies the next---all the pain, all the shattering that happens to two hearts that seemed once as one.

intensity here.
