Crystal Memories

There’s no one at the rendez-vous 
Not a star lighting the sky tonight
Just the thick blanket of midnight blue
As thoughts of him inundate her heart
Trying to compute their being apart
Crystal clear memories so bright
Her soul so naive to love untrue

How could she not spot the faintest clue 
Her crystal memories have a bitter bite
His name will now be not more than taboo
Really thought he was her counterpart
All those times calling her sweetheart
Cupid’s arrow struck with all its might
Wishing she could undo her new tattoo

Timothy Mcguire Date: 8/13/2018 10:14:00 PM Wonderful Poem. I can relate to some bad memories being crystal clear. They are always there to remind us clearly of the past. Login to Reply Line Gauthier Date: 8/13/2018 10:28:00 PM Thank you for your most appreciated visit and comment, Timothy.
