How could I forget.

by vintage darling   Aug 14, 2008


I've grown up, but I want to grow away,
feelings still bottled up inside of me.
Dreaming with a broken heart here as I lay;
searching to forget can't you just see?

How can I not recall our late night talks,
reassuring me that never meant forever.
Pacing and stuttering, gazing up the clocks
remarking moments, you were always clever

We were so perfectly wrong for each other,
you were cold, but you were stunning.
A naive soul, a naive heart waiting to discover,
somehow I always found myself running.

We all knew this day was approaching,
our bitter hearts could hear it calling
"Just give it time," never stopped coaxing.
Three words, one boy why was I stalling?

You were one of the few, darling;
who saw with their eyes, and spoke with heart
I want you back, I know it's condescending
Stole my heart, haven't returned from the start
I'm happy you're happy, but me, I'm still mending

you can't stop wishing if you don't let go
untouched, and unmet, my first, and..
perhaps the time has come for me to do so.
let the tide wash away a dream from the sand...

    Well, it was a good poem. What I liked about this poem was... You used ';'

    Only a few people use that punctuations. Indifference in style is good. Well done.

    Another one I like about this poem was the structure. I think your structure was
    abab? Correct me if I'm wrong.

    Anyway, you really have talents in writing different types of poetry. I'd like to suggest to you to try different types of poetry. Example Acrostic etc.

    A sad poem. I liked the structure of the poem. Lines are well constructed and that makes it good for reading. Lots of emotions and passion are there! a good write!
