April’s Poem

Bittersweet memories

Is all I’m taking with me.

I’ll say good-bye and try not to cry,

But the teardrops in my eyes

Make it so hard to see

That you were the man

I wanted for all Eternity.

The pain in my heart

I feel sometimes is killing me.

I know that if I were to stay

They’d think that I was in the way.

There are things I left behind

That I’m sure you may not see.

Like the years we’ve been together,

Those were very special to me.

The foundation of our love is also there

Wasting away into thin air.

The love we shared, there too, slowly fading away

Like the sunset on warm summer’s day.

Our memories we made together are now cast aside

Just  like bad photos that we’d just rather hide.

But most of all, part of my heart, sadly, is there somewhere

You may not believe it, but it’s true.

I’m sure you don’t know it or you can’t see it,

But it will always be with you.
