Poetry: My painful past

by Marty Shuff

Created on: April 10, 2009

Oh the pain of a broken heart.

How can something that never physically

touches you hurt so bad?

The memories that just keep flooding back,

of the good times we have had.

Everywhere I turn there are memories of you.

Pictures on the wall, cards you have given me,

gifts I have received.

Even when I go places, your memory follows me.

Everyplace I go seems like, some place we have been.

We were so good together, we talked and listened and loved.

You brought joy to my life I have never experienced before and may never again.

When we were together I couldn't be happier.

I hope you could see your love for me reflecting back through my eyes.

I love you with a passion I could never deny.

I try to put you out of my mind but you never really leave.

I am only able to suppress your memory for brief moments of time.

Then, when I relax again, your memory floods my mind.

So why does it have to end?

Could you explain it me, because I don't understand?
