Forget Me Not Poem by Joanna Pavlides

Through the pain and anger
Through frustration and hurt
Memory of you laughing
Comes again and again

I push it away
But it's here to stay
I drown it in wine
But it won't go astray

I am sorry
I whisper
Every evening
But still

You are not coming back
You were not here to stay

I love you, you know
Although it took a long time
For my heart to be opened
For you to be mine

So many things I want you to know...


The bodies entwined
The souls combined
Or was it my wish only
For you to be mine?

Don't walk away
Without saying goodbye
Find it in your heart
To hold me last time

Was it God's gift?
Or devil's trick?
My love for you
Was it a myth?

You loved me, I know
Never said it but shown
Every cuddle and kiss
Screamed the thousands of words

When will I get the chance
To tell you all this?
I was your babe I was your bliss
You were my world

And now all this…
I am hurting
And so are you
Admit that

anyone of us will probably not

Forgive me
Not
Forget me
Not
