Sweetest Bitter Memories Poem by Alyssa Howell

You told me you would never leave
and now I’m all alone, brittle boned
As I grew older I wondered if I could ever go back and stop you from leaving
My heart grows colder by the pain of losing you

Your warmth is gone
Your precious smile is nowhere near me
My grave is coming close to me because I don’t know…
I don‘t know if I’ll make it through alone

The memories escape me
summer nights, winter days
Was it all a mistake to find out I have fell in love with you?
Your laugh which used to make me smile is now faded into pieces

The piece that are skipping through my mind like a broken CD player
How was I suppose to know you were going to make me cry
How was I suppose to know you were going to be one to leave me behind
I’m all alone with no one to call my own

Just the sweetest of memories I have left of…you
The one I fell in love with…and
the one who left me all alone
A brittle old woman waiting…for her time to come
