The StormA Poem by Matt HargenraderA look at the “storm” of emotions behind heart break.
It’s funny how we forget
All of the mundane and insignificant details of our lives Like a sudden breeze There for a moment, then whisked away forever And yet another breeze will come But much like the first It too will forgetfully fade into the past Though what’s most funny to me Is the things we wish to forget do not fade as easily The pain The suffering The regret You see, a lackluster conversation with a friend dissipates by the day’s end Yet the memories of a heartbreak burn for a lifetime Memory is an enigma Weeks go by, and not once have they crossed your mind Then a gentle breeze passes Only this one carries a decade of baggage There across the street, you see them for the first time in years Now the pain and suffering resurfaces And this time you’re engulfed by a twister Years go by Some breezes dwindle while others form storms Some nights you’ll wake from a dream in tears How do they always find their way back? But fear not, For after every storm, There is a new day with promise in store © 2021 Matt Hargenrader |
