Scathing Remembrances

Tainted one's brain remains
When scathing remembrances it contains
Due diligence when not fulfilled
Leave one in a state of surreal
In love matters, bitter the pill
If swallowed it will kill
memories of love gone unfulfilled
Thoughts unrequired must yield

Fell in this right away, fell in because I felt I belonged at home in each sentiment. Love brevity delivering profound and that's what you did. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

Hello CayCay, Thank you. I really appreciate your critiques of my work. But, I want you to be honest, not that you aren't, say what comes to your mind negative or positive. Thank you again. - Mike

Michael, like the rhyme verse.. The heart or is it the brain that runs the emotions of the heart.. the brain remembers and the body reacts to the thoughts ... I wonder.. I lost my husband 7 months ago and the images of him run like a movie that I love to watch over and over. Then the tears flow then the body reacts to the feelings of a hug long gone.. just food for thought..I do know my blood pressure did go up sky high after his death , but now has calmed

I so sorry for your loss. I believe your right brain not heart. If you don't mind I will use your suggestion. Thank you - Eve
