I remember your voice
But I don't remember you rejoice
I remember you food
But I don't remember your grace

I remember my name
But I don't remember my pain
I remember my lies
But I don't remember my prize

You left so randomly
And left me with a broken heart
Whatever the reason was
Life will still go on
With or without you
This is goodbye now and forever
It looks like you've written a heartfelt poem about loss, memory, and moving on

In this cruel  world, it is difficult to trust anyone. As  a mere I have  no choice,but to keep things to thyself. I wish I could just be myself with any being  but I am aware ;it is a foolish thought. I feel  alone  currently . However, I know there  is a reason for the mountain I must cimb. I have faith my world view will change overtime but it is hard to look past the present.
Thank you God for it all.

It’s been enough years now,
Enough years for me to let you go from my mind.
Yet each time a sad song plays,
Your memory returns, and tears fill my eyes.

Was it really that difficult for you to love me?
Am I just a fool to still hold onto the memories?
Everyone says you didn’t deserve me anyway,
But all I feel is I was the one who didn’t deserve to be loved.

The brown eyes I fell in love with,
They’ll never change.
I searched for that warmth in others' eyes,
But left them cold and estranged.

I tried to find what you once gave,
But only left them torn,
Passing on the heartbreak you left me,
In eyes just like yours, forlorn.

Line out the field
With chalk on the ground,
Number the squares
Where your step will be found.

Aim very hard
And throw in your stone.
Go to your goal.
You can do it, I know.

Life isn’t fair -
You will stumble and fall.
But then you’ll get up
And you will go on.

Let the other kids laugh,
The adults shake their heads.
Shut the cruel voices out -
You will find your way ahead.

Not yet,
Thy laugh, still a melody to my ears,
Thy voice, still a gentle wind I breathe,
Thy compliment, still my favourite poem,
Thy face, still a moonlight on the ocean in my eyes;

How can I?
Thy existence were like;
Pouring a cup of espresso,
Filled the emptiness of the cup
With the warmth, the taste and flavours.

you didn't come to my funeral
now you ask if i want to dance

you want to reach out
but i've already sunken
you're wrong if you see me glow
the light isn't for you

i've followed you before
climb to you, swim to you
but you can't see me try
you didn't try to

i don't blame you
but don't blame me

From learning hues that painted their joy to cradling their vulnerabilities, I hesitate to unfold my chapters to anyone new.
Nevermind knowing someone else, how do l open up to another person
To know me exactly how you did, without me sayin' a word
"Move on," they say, yet moving on means exposing the very part of me that being with you taught me l should shield from the rest of the world
So, where do I begin
I don't want another hi that will lead to a goodbye
Poetic Eagle Feb 2024
So today someone made me smile, even laughed
Today l set for coffee, lunch and dinner
And never for a moment did l look for you in anyone
Today l did everything l wished to do with you, even more
And no thought of you crossed my mind
Today everything that once reminded me of you
Didn't bring any memory
Today for the first time in a long while l didn't look forward to your text
Today your absence felt normal
And it didn't make me cry
Today l don't miss you as much as l used to
So Today l realise maybe l am slowly forgetting you
It's what I wanted but why does it still make me sad
Letting go of the part that loved someone is never the easiest
