where the wild flowers grow

I've got to
stop my mind from thinking.
Stop my tears from falling,
keep my soul from sinking.
Forget I ever met you,
stop myself from feeling..
Keep myself from eating, and
contradicting all the words I've been
speaking.
I must
disregard the
way that
sweater clung to you,
now laying crumbled on
my floor.
I have to clean
up after you,
leave no trace of your scent..
For I
don't quite appreciate the way
you held me..
No,
I never found comfort in your
warmth ..
I've got to
forget about you.

strong words of a woman scorned..  good
write...  help keep it that way by doing
a spell check..  You should find one error
that can be fixed in a jiffy...  "disregaurd"

Sometimes you don't want to forget everything-maybe you learned from it? And besides, it's a fine poem.

I think when you start using words like must and should and got to, it means you don't want to. Still you painted necessity well.

Written very well. Sad, too :tear:

Kaoru, you wrote this very well. I really felt a lot of hurt in this part.....

I have to clean
up after you,
leave no trace of your scent..
For I
don't quite appreciate the way
you held me..
No,
I never found comfort in your
warmth ..
I've got to
forget about you.


Hope things get better soon.  
Hugs

...as the old song goes, "I'm gonna wash that man right out of my hair and send him on his way..."

Powerful, emotive write!

Lovin' hugs,

The only difference between the creative and the conformists is that the creative will not be conquered and the conformists already are.
