...I'll Never See Your Face...


Close my eyes and picture it all
Rewind back to that night
To where I didn't even know you
Where your eyes never met mine

Before that first word was spoken
Back to where I still believed
Before that first conversation
Back to before you ever ignored me

Rewind the things you've said
Before all of the dreams
Erase meaningless promises
Rewind hopeless feelings

Back to where I wouldn't pick you out in a crowd
Back to before I waited for you to call
Before I memorized your number
Before we lost it all

Retrace every thought, every word
Every kiss that ever went wrong
Rewind every song we ever shared
Take me back to where this never belonged

Where I never learned how to hate you
Back to when you were never by my side
Before every mean thing I said
Before every tear I cried

Before my heart ever felt you
Before I knew your name
Rewind all the smiles framed in my mind
Rewind all the chances I gave

I close my eyes and rewind to that night
Picture your hat still covering your face
Where never a word was spoken
And where you'd already be erased...

I see me frowning in your eyes...
I see the fear in you...
Where no one ever should be...

How happy is the blameless vestals' lot, the world forgetting by the world forgot. Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!  Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd.   (Alexander Pope)

This made me think of that quote.

This is something I believe we all go through at a point in our lives, you wrote very well of this feeling of wanting to erase it all. Very vivid emotion...Defenitly beautiful writing, back up to the top with you!

Reminds me of how I feel, too.  Sort of like what I would write, except your poem isn't as restricted by rhyme.  I really liked this, and yeah, it is something we all go through sooner or later.  Too bad we can never go back.  Loved this poem, too.  This site really is full of talented writers.

This is a poem that I can REALLLY relate to. I just broke up with a boyfriend of seven months and have been thinking about him even more than when we were going out. The whole poem flows great, and painted a vivid picture in my mind. Great write!
