Trying to remember...

by Cotton Candy Clouds   Aug 22, 2007


Remember when
we talked for hours at a time
and everthing was fine

remember when
we would laugh at eachother
and we'd make fun of my brother

remember when
you would send cute txts for me to wake up to
and when i looked at my phone, i just knew it was you

remember when
you would say cheesy lines
and i would giggle and you knew i thought they were just fine

remember when
you didnt yell at me
and you could just let things be

remember when
you said i was the best you ever had
and you said this love would never go bad

remember when
you made me smile
and the times we spent together where worth the while

but when i think about what i can remember from lately
it depresses me greatly
all i can remember is you yelling at me and then you'd start to swear
but you'd keep saying "baby i still care"

you would raise your fist
it would hurt more when i tried to resist
when youd get done beating me
you would then say "i love you sweetie"

now im trying to remember whats holding us together
i know we said we could last forever
but now im thinking this may just be through
dont get me wrong i did say "i love you"
and to this day that holds true
but im sorry youve left all these reminders in the form of bruises
and i just cant take any more of the excuses

so, in spite of the way i love you so much
i think this may be better for both of us
i know its gona hurt like hell but i got to try
you should already know the reasons why
so no matter whos right or wrong
I think its finally time that im moving on...

*this poem has a really personal meaning to me and i would really appreciate your votes and coments*

    This poem is.....extremely touching. I'm sorry you had to experience this, hun. it's very beautiful and inspirational. the ending would definitely inspire me to get out of any situation like that...it shows strength and a glimmer of hope...

    you would raise your fist
    it would hurt more when i tried to resist
    when youd get done beating me
    you would then say "i love you sweetie"

    ^^ this stanza gave me goose bumps...those last two lines are just so sick. sorry, but they just are disgusting...twisted. wonderful job putting it into words.

    once again, wonderful poem. thank you for the comments and votes on my poems as well...i hope you are/will be ok. keep your chin up as high as it can go...god bless.
