Pandita Sietesantos Poet Free verse

Inside My Head

Inside my Head

inside my head
deep within my heart,
like an old portrait tucked away
in a treasured locket,
safely kept
suspended in time…
memories of my first love
with his loving smile,
which like sunshine
could melt my heart;
his warm, gentle touch
his tender embrace
the taste of his passionate kisses,
the way he walked
with that slight swagger
so recognizable from afar;
his husky voice that whispered
shared secrets between us two,
as he filled every day with romance;
like soothing summer rain,
he’s been dwelling 
inside my head

but wait a second - 
that sucker’s been long gone,
married a new love and flippantly moved on;
so it’s time for me to finally let go 
of all these pointless memories…  
inside my head
