MEMORIES BY JESSICA DURU by Nobody: 6:08pm On Jul 31, 2020
When I'm with you,
I feel happier than I ever felt
When you're not here,
I feel all sad and down,
and tearful and sore
I know...
I know I promised
That I was never letting a tear
Roll down my face
But I just couldn't hold on to that
Could I?!

You said you were...
That you were never going to leave
But you did!
And let go of everything...
Everything we ever shared!
Now my heart is saddened...
Saddened from the damage you caused!
And all that is left are memories;
Memories I vowed never to forget
Memories that keep me going

Even though it hurts
That I'm never going to see you again
But I'm certain...
I'm certain that I'll heal
From the aching that make my heart throb
And though summer may pass,
and all the seasons as well
Still,my love for you won't
Just like I'd promised

Hate me!
Ignore me!
And push me all away....!
But that will never get the best of me
For my strength has grown over the years,
and I'm stronger...
Stronger than the ferocious lion
That roams the wild!
And firmer...
Firmer than the tallest tree
That stands on the forest grounds
Not even the mighty wind can blow me down
No!
Not even that!

You may let go of every memories...
Every memories we once shared,
and every feelings...
Every feelings we once had for each other,
But mine will always be there
For as long as I shall remain on this earth
With the breath of life still in me,
I'll never forget you,
My dearest Aurora....

Ciara

The poem depicts the sadness in the poet personae's tone...Here,he laments on how the one closest to his heart abandons him for another.Well,the other man wasn't mentioned in my poem of course but you can see how sorrowful and miserable the former was at first."At first"..Take note of those two words.But as time went on,the poet personae began getting used to the fact that he had lost his dearest Aurora even though his feelings were still there.He still held on to that,hoping that someday she will come back to him and things will go back to normal...again.
I'll be posting the cover soon...Just read and also invite others to read alongside.Thank you.
