Today Would've Been...

Today would've been

our anniversary.

A day when we would laugh

Smile

and be happy.

Today would've been

full of love

given from the both of us

with hugs and kisses all day long.

Today would've been 

the day I could make you smile

And I could remind you 

how much I care about you.

I don't want to remember yesterday

But now it's stuck in my head

I'm waking up each morning

Feeling so much dread.

Because

Today would've been

 our anniversary.

But now, to you,

It's all dead and gone.

Author's Note

Again, easy on the reviews. I wrote this after waking up to get out some pain. Thanks to all of you who read my works, this is possible.

The repetition works and I love the accompanying hydrangea image that is so beautifully sad in itself. Being able to remember is a blessing and a curse

I really like the repetition and I think it definitley conveys your pain very well.
Good write :)

It' amazing how a simple number of a date can be innocent of what it means to people. Just as the sun rises, unknowingly killing plants in a heat wave. But the pain is there. A softly written pain. I like that there isn't a sense of aggression in your tone and choice of words. It's an interesting quality to your work.

A good, simple poem. Not complex, but well written. Nice job!
