Still In My Head

Love's a malady without a cure - John Dryden STILL IN MY HEAD I tried; I really did, To get you out of my head. Told myself it wasn’t the end of the world. Said I could live without you; There were plenty more fish in the sea; And all those other cliches People use to give comfort. Perhaps you were right, I thought, Maybe you weren’t the girl for me. But you were. I knew you were “Just forget me,” you said as you walked away. “You have your whole life ahead of you.” And that’s what worries me. My whole life without you. I tried, I really did. But love’s a malady without a cure 12th October 2020 Quotable Poetry Contest Sponsor - Regina McIntosh
