A Beautiful Memory

Who was it said that all in love is even and quite fair
And was it also you who said you'd always be there
So many promises were given and so many shared dreams
Just what has happened to all your hearts themes
Did the idea of being loved by me scare you so much
Didn't your heart relish my sweet softly tender touch
You used to enjoy so much every little thing that I'd do
Now I wonder if truthfully you ever meant that I love you

Why I'm sitting here in loves house so cold and all alone
Tell me when did you disconnect your heart lines phone
Why didn't I see that you were quietly packing me away
I should've listened properly to what my heart had to say
For I saw the goodbyes clearly written within your sighs
I even felt them in your kiss, if only I had used my eyes
To throw away this one chance of precious true love
Is to discard it as nought, to ignore this gift from up above

I wish I'd had the chance to work out all your rules
Or the understanding that love makes of us all fools
My memory has lost its sense of time it calls to you
Strange that even now my heart believes you are still true
I keep hoping that soon you'll regret saying goodbye
Because without you here my heart just starts to cry
Tell me what changed was it me, did I love you too much
This heart pain fades when I remember your touch

If I try hard enough I can still feel you deep inside
And for a moment love returns only again to hide
And your image that I hold so dear within my heart
Is slowly disintergrating as my spirit falls totally apart
When first I awake for a moment I think you're here
Then I lose you all over again this is the pain I fear
I would ask to forget if I thought it would help me
But forgetting is not the cure, please don't let it be

One day in a million years or maybe a million more
I'll be able to say I've finally shut your hearts door
But until that time I'll see the yawning hole so cold
I'll still gaze in adoration at this where love had hold
My heart will still beat to your rhythm it's all it knows
My spirit will wait until a love will melt its icy snows
And I'll remember a perfect time, a beautiful memory
That you and your love once upon a time gave to me

Marsha, gal~
You KNOW I love those memories things ~

'I would ask to forget if I thought it would help me
But forgetting is not the cure, please don't let it be'


Oh, how I agree with this sentiment.
Lovely and I love it.

The pains of love lost..*sigh*..oh well...this was a very sad poem but still beautiful. I love the way you just pour your heart out onto the page.  

I am no one if not myself.
