Now you are just a memory to me

Sneha Sebastian

If you were just passing through
Why show me the deepest parts of you?
If you knew you’d walk away
Why let me hold your heart that day?

Why treat me better than all before
Then turn out worse and hurt me more

Why show me pictures of your past
Tell me I could call if the storm crashed?
Why say I was yours out loud
Hold my hand in every crowd?

Why get so close, take me on rides
Show me the places where you hide?
Why strap my helmet, care like gold
If you planned to leave me in the cold?

Why sing my favourite songs so sweet
Now they are the ones I can’t repeat
Why tell me everything each day
Now you’re just so far away?

Why make me fall, then break my trust
Turn my open arms into dust?
Why take pictures, plant the seed
If you’d never let it grow or feed

Who takes someone in to throw them out?
Who promises love, then leaves in doubt?
If this is how you treat them all
You should’ve never let me fall

I deleted every picture we took
Don’t wanna see your face in my book
Maybe it’s true, my love looked good on you
But now you’re just an ordinary view

I used to keep your songs and voice notes
Now they’re gone like sinking boats
I can’t waste my time, I’ve found
You were only ever playing around

I’m over it, I’m over you
You had my last innocent truth
The last to see this loving part
Now I’m back to my selfish heart

This is my last sad song for you
The last piece of me that holds your view
Now I’m back on track, I’m finally free
And you’re just a memory to me

    Selfish emotions become capricious emotions. A poem of anger and lose over promises made and never fulfilled. Well done
