[bodytext] => I've been on this earth for many years Life has ebbed through smiles and tears Keep promising myself each morning I awake I'll keep trying to forget, for my sake It always seemed like a fairy tale over told That memories would fade as you grow old I could never envision how that could be Now I understand as the years fold in on me The wonderful memories I fight to retain Are falling from my mind like silver rain Unable to hold the joyous sound of yesterday Colorful pictures of happiness slipping away Please explain why I seem to hang on to Memories of the hurt and pain caused by you Try as I might, and believe me I'm trying so bad I can't get them to die, can't get rid of the sad Well meaning words from others being said I hear their echo bouncing in my head Let go, forget, no worth to remembering Hard to understand the pain is heart rending It hovers there, just out of my line of sight Cuts through my soul, blocks out the light This what you caused, yet never acknowledge Upends my world, pushes me near the edge For my sake, I'm willing to learn a new trick To beat those bad memories back with a stick Forever lock them up within a dark giant box Toss them into time's sea weighted with rocks Once I manage the courage to perform this feat There'll be room for my memories so sweet Good ones filled with all the wonder and hope I'll hold them close and expand their scope [comments] => 1 [counter] => 86 [topic] => 75 [informant] => dvtpdw [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => anguished )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
