No Memories by enix2dmix: 11:05pm On Aug 29, 2012 |
I wish I could say that we are parting and taking our memories with us I wish I had the chance to… Hold your hand Laugh at our jokes Tease your single dimple Run my hand through your hair Look into your eyes Pick up a quarrel with you Walk with you Talk with you I wish I had been with you when we had the time Oh God…. I wish I had kissed you… But NO….. it didn’t happen As sure as the almighty sits on his throne So is time that passes us by…. It goes and is gone…. Taking with it… Happiness and sadness Pride and prejudice Love and hate Beginnings and endings And all we ever have the chance to feel in this life Seconds ticked away and became minutes Minutes became hours Hours… Days Days to weeks… Now time has come and gone We are parting….. But we were never really together… its like being a part of something dat neva was.... I wish you the best in all your ways…. The tears don’t come… My heart… remains in its place fat and happy…. It cannot be broken by you because we have…. NO MEMORIES |

enix2dmix: I wish I could say that we are parting and taking our memories with us Poignant. The following are my thoughts. * "cannot" in the third last line doesn't quite fit. * The punctuation could be better. By extension, the ellipsis is overused. * The tenses don't seem very coherent. I get the feeling that the time of parting is also the time jokes are or are to be laughed at. * I get conflicting feelings about your piece. It's as if you're missing someone you don't want to miss and insisting that you don't miss them. That would have been beautiful if the poem had indicated honesty, that is, an appreciation that this is actually true. |
