Memory Lane

 

 

I take a step back

Through memory lane

To remember all the good times

The tears we’ve cried

The movies we’d laugh at

How our love was as passionate as can be

We could stare into each other’s eyes for hours

And you couldn’t look away

You would kiss me ever so softly no matter who watched

I just knew I loved you

Then she came along

You couldn’t look me in the eye

You’d blush or turn away when I tried to kiss you

I told you I loved you

Even though I didn’t know if that was true

I wanted you happy

And you left me

Standing there

All alone

In this place we call home

But it’s not

And I miss you

But I can’t love you anymore

I gave you my heart

And you broke it

She doesn’t love you

So go ahead and slice those wrists hon.

You were happy with me

I see those scars she’s given you

Those wounds, those cracks in your heart

But you don’t see mine

Because I’m smart enough to know you don’t need that

So I hide them

I smile to you

I tell you I’m happy,

Happy for you

So good luck

Because from now on

You’re just a shadow creeping up at night

I’ll help you

I’ll be your shoulder to cry on

Even though you hurt me

You hurt me so much

But I loved you

So I’ll be there

Because that’s just the kind of person I am…

Mae mae, that was fantastic, thanks for entering it in my contest, and good luck!
Though she was hurt by him, she was still there in case he needed someone.
Lovely poem, continue with the fantabulous writing!
