Memory

im shattered im torn
my heart skips a beat its worn
will it stop who knows
my love continues it grows
I hid my pain for so long 
maybe this is where i went wrong
no longer am i strong cant go on

sitting in dispare these feelings aint fair
where did i go wrong
my heart played its love song
beating so strong inside
now receeding like the tide
in my poetry i confide
because theres nothing but heart ache outside

sitting in my room thinking is this love lost 
about to seal my doom what a cost
like a tree in autum breaks it heart by shedding leaves 
only to grow and bloom and show its love again
what a wonderful sight 
but am i right

she feels the same today 
but things said just wont go away
can you forgive if you cant forget
is this why im filled with regret
is lifes path allready set

like footprints in the sand
pretty patterns so grand
the tides strength they cant withstand
watch as they wash away 
make there last stand

and become but a memory


the end 

higgledy piggledy 
like my head 

hope someone enjoys this off the cuff rhyme

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
