Memories Poem by Joshua Amburn

You told me things will be ok
Softly spoken lies
You told that you loved me so
Hate, then filled your eyes

You said I was your only one
A vicious game is played
You said I’d have you forever
Now everything has changed

You said I was doing right
To wear my heart upon my sleeve
You said you would always be there
I was, then deceived

Now I am forced to be alone
Filled with violent pain
Forced to think what could have been
If things had stayed the same

Memories flood my stirring mind
Your smile comes into view
I think of your warm, sweet eyes
Green splashed with blue

But they say time will heal wounds
Mine shall do the same
The memories still haunt me
The scars will still remain

The tears have fallen softly
My heart is torn in two
I never wanted anything
More than I want you.
