MEMORIES

All affection for you is gone

My heart no longer races when I see you

I no longer feel the need to seek your approval

 

But the memories still exist

They still come rushing back

Whenever we are in the same room

 

I can't help smile

When good memories come to my mind

 

I can't help feeling sad

When the memory of your betrayal haunts my thoughts

 

I no longer wish to please you

I don't get upset when you don't speak to me

I no longer put your happiness first

 

But I can't help remembering a time when I did

When you were my world

And the thought of losing you broke my heart

 

But at the same time

My heart still sinks

Every time I remember all your broken promises

 

I don't love you anymore

I don't care what you do

Or say

 

But I don't think the memory of you

Will ever fade

Liked your attempt and vigour to frame your feelings and emotions onto words! It is quite rhythmic but at key parts it's missing. It feels something is missing somewhere! Your poem is a fact and it happens mostly with emotions! It's the journey from kid to a matured!
