Notes About The Poem

The Unforgettable Birthday

My ex's birthday will be forever etched in my brain,
Memories of celebrating each year with lobster and champagne.
It's a date today in my mind I wish I could erase,
But it's in my heart unbidden, and has claimed a space.

Thanks Cheryl. That's true, but sometimes it is painful to revisit.Bittersweet.
