Without Even A Kiss Goodbye~

a bad memory

 

 

I loved you once in June
when your heart seemed warm
filling my head with misconceptions,
you swept me up like a raging storm

like many before and after me
a string of hearts that never mattered
left lying in an abandoned castle
fairytale dreams left shattered,
but now it's come full circle
so it's time for you to cry
Your eyes were black with emptiness
without even a kiss goodbye.

I am sure you will find another
to manipulate in time
Just tell her that you love her,
in pages of stolen rhyme.
My heart goes on without you
but your memory lies in a dark place
and this song plays as the record skips
I want to see hurt in your cheating face.
This will be my last poem of you
because you are not even worth a sigh.
Your eyes were black with emptiness
without even a kiss goodbye.

I loved you once in June
when your heart seemed warm
speaking of seagulls and deep blue sea,
you swept me up like a raging storm
I hope you think of me for a brief moment
when you hear that Leonard Cohen song play,
remember my soft voice, my loving eyes
and the tender heart that you threw away,

and if ever it is possible
for you to feel devotion,
I hope you love with every breath
and your heart is consumed with emotion
only to awaken to a note that makes you cry
when she says she left you for another
without even a kiss goodbye...

and your heart is consumed with emotion

How painful it must be and how sad! Some bitter reminders that Karma is bound to rebound and the spell will come full circle back to the "magician".

This is perfectly somber...
heartwrenching.

I love every line & is now added to my favorites.

Excellent!

This poem is so sad. The way you write, the reader can almost feel the emotion themselves. It's so detailed, yet so simple at the same time. A great poem full of detail, awesome work.
