To Erase the Memory of You

To Erase The Memory Of You To erase the sunspots of the mind, The memories that are you, The dotted sunshine through the years, Enslaved in lover’s hue. To rid the body of all the pain And showers flooding through, Grey clouds that dissipated With your songs and rainbow view. To have lived a life having never known The warmth and deep connect, The nurture feigned for access, Prior to drought and harsh neglect. To forget the madness of the love And desire I felt so true Would be the agony and ecstasy In this garden made for two To forgive and not forget Is now all that will ensue, But I forgive myself for loving you For it wasn’t hard to do. 17th October 2019 Midnight Aurora

I agree the third stanza is the highlight of this poem for me. Absolutely fantastically written and relatable. My personal favourite I have came across to date on this site. Well done Aurora

A beautiful, very touching write, the third stanza is heartbreaking. What great pain there is to have lived a life loving someone and thinking that you are loved but one day to find it was all just for your partner's convenience. Your last stanza is wonderful.

Indeed. The older I get the more I see how cruel people are to each other. It takes a lot of effort to not become cynical about things. Thank you for your comment.

Now this is a love poem, for sure. That ending is amazing. 'But I forgive myself for loving you For it wasn’t hard to do.' I loved that, it spoke to me. Nicely done.
