Memory

by Robert   Nov 12, 2013


For what seemed forever had last a moment, and
the word's that had been spoken meant nothing.
From that three letter word to four, and then to one
my heart had suddenly reached a point worth stopping.

These sinking feeling's would come and go as I
would look back from time to time, but for
someone like me who had spent their whole life
just wished they had noticed the sign's

As fickle as they were they were meant for me
so that I may understand what's going on. Still
I couldn't but wonder what her expression was
when the door had been shut and she was gone

The relationship had more or less whittled down
to a memory of dust and ash. That just filled the
air and drifted away; forgotten as people
continued to pass.

    Our memory can play tricks on us. We remember things one way and over time it does change and we as humans tend to embellish the truth of the matter and then there is the other person's side of the story, their memory of the situation and they do the same things we do, embellish. Human nature being what it is, we almost always make ourselves look better, less responsible in the repeating of the memories. From a technical view, the flow is off and could use some work and close to the end, seems more like just a conversation rather than verses in a poem, not a good description of how it made me feel but best I can do. Need to watch the use of apostrophes and commas.

    From that three letter word to four

    ^ do you mean that first it was " I love you, then it turned into a " I don't love you"?

    people come and go in our life, some stay longer and others don't last as much as we would want them to.

    They become just a memory. Good piece
