I Remember the Way

I remember the way Your eyes flickered to light When you looked my way. I remember the way Your smile reached your eyes When you looked my way. I remember the way My heart began a dance When you looked my way. I remember the way My heart stopped and dropped When one day, you told me not to call again. I remember the way I had been so manipulated When I came to know your way. I remember the way It felt to feel meaningless Because of your selfish way. I remember my new aim Ever since I ripped you out of my heart I will never let anyone use me again. By CarolineCécile Copyright © 07.06.10

It really is hard to move forward into a new relationship when you have been through something like this, Caroline. Truly a moving poem to which many can relate. I would classify it as a kyrielle because of the repeating lines, but it could also be considered free verse. Well done, my friend. Love, Carolyn
