Thanks for the memories
They’re all you ever gave
And now they’re all I have
Standing by my grave
Your love was always lust
Mercenary greed
Eating away at your soul
Leaving it there to bleed
Smiles were signs of deceit
I thought them to be joy
I thought them to be love
But it was all a ploy
Are you content now?
You have all that I held dear
Just hide it in your pocket
And run far away from here
Never to see my face again
Never to see my broken heart
Never to see my tears fall
Never to see me torn apart
Forget me for all I care
You’ve probably done it by now
I’ll forget you too someday
My unattainable vow
Thanks for the memories
They’re all you ever gave
But please take them back
They’re not worth enough to save

- Comment from author about the poem: Just to clarify, this isn't actually how I'm feeling or anything that's happened to me. It's just something I randomly thought of in one of my sadder moods. :)

It's amazing *O*
The way you tied the beginning and the ending together in a way, is really cool! Please publish a boooooook! I swear I'll be the first to buy it!
Haha thanks! 🙂
For mere random contemplations in miserable moments, this is thought-provoking and hard-hitting. The introduction is examined and revived as a fitting conclusion. The assessment of the proffered "love" as lust is excellent, yet we are all selfish by nature and that is the majority of our romantic love. The memories linger and torment in such cases, yet they are part of all our existence, so in blissful circumstances only renew the pleasures later and seem to be sometimes all that is left anytime of "life."....Just some thoughts on the spur of reading it. Fascinating and well done!
Thank you! 🙂
