Remember When...

Remember when things were

Simple?

You were a stranger,

And I was not.

I knew who I was.

My heart was full,

Completely unbroken.

 

Remember when things got

Fun?

You would hold my hand and

Whisper

“I love you” in my ear.

And I would listen

Because I had no reason to doubt you.

Until of course, I did.

 

Remember when I caught you

Lying?

You swore it was a one-time-thing.

But it never only happens once.

 

Remember the first time you made me

Cry?

The tears blurring my vision,

The mascara running like a river down

My cheeks.

But you insisted “everything was ok”

So I believed you.

 

Foolish girl.

 

Remember when I left

You?

I whispered “goodbye”

And went on my way?

You begged and pleaded

For me to stay.

Which frankly I found

Ironic.

Because you made me leave in the first

Place.

 

Now I am left to remember the

Memories.

Weighing me down, like weights on my

Ankles.

I am forced to cry each night,

Screaming your name.

No longer can I look upon you,

And just see a stranger.

For now, when I see you,

I hear poetry.

Being read to the ache of my

Beating heart,

Which is simply trying to

                                                 Find

                                                                         Its

                                                           Way.
