the heart remembers, cont'd. poetry.

Once again, I'm not a poet. This is just an attempt at poetry but moreso an outlet. It's also not how I'd typically write this.



the heart remembers.
you were barely breathing.
chipped tooth.
you couldn't speak.
the sirens to the hospital.
the "it's not looking good"
headed back home.
the heart remembers.

the heart remembers.
the hateful remarks.
the blatant cold shoulder.
treating me like this was my fault.
the incessant calling.
always being there when I couldn't be.
pretending you were so innocent,
to win his heart again.
the heart remembers.

the heart remembers.
the tears you cried.
the frustration.
the memory loss.
the proposal.
saying that I was the one.
the heart remembers.

the heart remembers.
the anger.
forgetting that I'd stayed at your side
the hurtful comments.
the tears I cried.
you forgetting it ever happened
the heart remembers.

the heart remembers.
surprising you
wearing that lacy black top
you were excited to see me
and not so sober
i just wanted to hold you
to take care of you
to love you
the heart remembers.

the heart remembers.
tickling and laughing.
acting sophisticated
the test:
which wine is this?
cab or shiraz? hmm...
playing wii
good laughs, good times.
the heart remembers.

the heart remembers.
the fights.
the you don't do
that or this enough
the frustration
the cruelty
maybe it wasn't love
the heart remembers.

the heart remembers.
the good-byes
if it's meant to be,
it's meant to be
you changed my life
in ways you may never know
I loved you openly
with all my heart
maybe that's why
it hurts so bad.
the heart remembers.
