Memories

"It is sad that your best memories
Are the ones that make you want to weep
With pain and longing and lost love.
They are the reminders to your heart
That life is a cruel, painful thing
And that no matter how much you wish
He would come back to you, he won't.
Those memories are the ones that
Keep you up until six in the morning,
The ones that still make you smile
Even though it all ended months ago.
The rememberances of his smile
Are the ones that still make you laugh
Through those sharp-edged tears you cry.
Sometimes you want to rip them all out,
Just to stop the never-ending pain induced.
But then you know you'd regret losing it all
Losing all of the good times and the bad.
And you just go back to torturing yourself
With the memories of him, of the past.
And the tears and laughter just intermingle
Like they always do when you let the
Memories of love dance in your eyes,
The lingering warmth of his arms and lips
Touch the depths of your soul like they did,
And the dreams and fantasies you had
Come back to life, replaying in your brain."
