Remembering What I Want To Forget

In the middle of the storm I found peace,
Love brightened the day with a soft kiss,
Her beauty disturbed my brain like a tough quiz,
Love was the mr , romance was his miss.

Suddenly, shadows defeated the reigning dawn,
Fight and quarrel argued with the existing fun,
Thunder cracking, encouraging the darkness to come,
I strife so hard but the love was long gone.

Flashes of the moment I tried to neglect,
But they kept coming, bringing along regret,
Ashes of the moment like a burning cigarette,
I remember vividly though I want to forget.
