You Forgot To Tell My Heart
~*Marge Tindal*~

You told me you were leaving
You said we had to part
I know you told my mind
but you forgot to tell my heart

Suddenly you were gone
with just a wave of your hand
Even though you told my mind
my heart didn't understand

You faded from the picture
like you'd never been part
of all the things I dreamed of
with you right from the start

And if upon a daydream
you should come my way
Please don't tell my heart
if you don't intend to stay

If you should return tomorrow
asking for a new start
I'd probably be delighted
for you forgot to tell my heart

This one brought back some memories Marge, well done as always.

 God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me. ~Unknown

Marge, when I, or anyone can relate and care, it's a G-R-E-A-T  P-o-e-m....
and the mark of an artist...

For that I will thank you twice.

This is a wonderful poem...how often does the heart refuse to believe something. You express that so beautifully in this poem...it really moved me. Thanks for sharing, my mentor!

Love and hugs,
Lizzie

Beautifully written Marge!  I especially loved the line above, it's melodic ... music should be placed to your words, what a wonderful song this would make!

Best wishes,

Marge, yet another beautiful poem.  It's true although love may leave, it's difficult for the heart to let go, I know this feeling all too well.  The first two stanzas are my favourite  

Love ya o' queen of poetry,

Beautiful poem, my friend.  Doesn't it always seem the heart is the last to know when love ends?  I just love that phrase....
"you forgot to tell me heart".  It is superb!
This one hits close to home for me....oh the memories that come crashing back.  Thanks for sharing.
