Forever A Memory
Love was a four letter word, or so thought I
Then came the day I looked into your eyes
I fought a battle , and tried hard to win
But my heart had thawed and I let you in
Would I had known that was my undoing
Would I have put up a tougher fight
No, not I
For I would be fighting something I could no longer deny
You tried to warn me but it was too late
I had let my heart seal my fate
Foolish of me to even try
Blinded by love , I was living a lie
Surely it is not heavens rain from above
But my tears that fall on an empty heart and a could be love
All the while I played the part and fell into step with your plan
I came to close too the flame
I’ve only myself to blame
And my cries fall on unhearing ears
You warned me but I had to try
We could have been
Had you only let me in
And once more I will let my heart die
Forever A Memory
Did you mean to have “have” twice? Would I have have put up a tougher fight.
How true this poem is. I enjoyed even if it brings back some heart ache.
whoops(blush)
Thank you for catching that one I appreciate it
Didn’t mean to stir old ghosts sorry
just expressing what I am going through guess I did a good job there now
thank you so much for your kind words

Let my heart die
Well I hope you dont really mean that Chrys. What is life without an open heart even if it needs protecting from time to time… Brought back some very painful memories for me too but am back out there…lol. I know you dont wish for any serious critique but i will just say that it does not flow as well as it might, especially in the middle. That may well be what you wanted to achieve with the altered structure of course. Just a minor point in the penultimate verse it should be ” I came too close to the flame”. Keith

I do mean what I say. I did fix the word and I’m sorry once again I made another person remember their hurt and thank you for your comments I guess I not really in an even mood and it shows doesn’t it

All I can say from reading this poem is that beauty was born from your pain. It saddens me to see you hurting, though there is nothing I can do to change how you feel. I hope that time will heal your wounds and that once again someday you find true happiness. I will be there if you need to talk to someone.
Your friend Cat.
How true that is
How true this is. And how many times must we ride this ride of love. Its good to see though Im not the only when who knows this pain and heartache. Thankyou
