Your memory fades into the shadows of my mind.
Leaving me alone in this darkness.
Your words leave little comfort,
I shouldn't have been so naive.

To trust you,
was to trust a brick wall that was not properly cemented between.

To love you,
was an unbearable sacrifice,
a mistake.

Indeed,
to say goodbye.
Would take a miracle.

Its over now, you and me.
So move on, and grow old.
But Please remember me,
with once you loved.

Hi, Kellie.

Wonderfully sad write.

"I'm not scared."  HAHAHA

Okay, here goes:

"Its over now, you and me."

"It's" (it is), instead of "Its."

and

"But Please remember me,
with once you loved."

"...whom you loved," or "...whom you once loved," or "...the one you loved," or finally (I know, WHEW!   ), "...with love."

Now where do you get off telling people.... hehe just kidding!!!!! Sorry you set me up for that one... no harsh feelings just a little humor to lighten my mood.

Thank You for the critique. It takes balls to have enough guts to positively critique someone in this day and age in fear of getting whiplash from verbal assault as I began to illustrate in a joking manner. Thank you so much I very much appreciate it and will be fixing this poem soon!

Sometimes writing gets you beyond some of the heartache, so I'm glad to see you do that.  It's sad that we have to have these hurts, but hopefully you'll find as I did, there are better options waiting. Nice poem.

God bless,
    Rae
