You Remind Me Poem by Peter Daniel Phiri

You remind me of my struggle,
You remind me of my streangth yet to come;
Of a dream in the making,
And a love once dear to my life.

Like heat in my cold heart,
Her love was comfort to my life,
But now it burns like hell inside of me.

You remind me of a place I dread with my soul;
Of a crime I can't accept forgiveness.
You remind me of the innocence I robbed from my love,
Of the virginity she lost to me;
And the promise I couldn't keep.

You remind me of my unworthiness to be loved,
And my promise to a fresh start.
My friend, ..
You remind me of my life.
