Heart that can't remember
a poem about the back-and-forth
I've always had a thing for you.
You, and your beautiful eyes blue.
You have a way over me, I have no control.
When I'm with you I just fold.
You make me laugh and its so easy...
the sweetest things from your lips, making me feel queasy.
Anything with you feels like a tiny adventure.
Oh, how I wish it could be this way forever!
But you are cunning in your ways...
you know all of the right things to say.
I fall for them every time til I'm on the verge of tears.
When will I learn after all these years?
You come and go and back again...
My heart can't adjust to you being just a friend.
But what you say in the dark never holds up.
Feelings of love and lust are all mixed up...
Next thing I know, you and your actions fall flat.
Oh, how I wish my heart could remember that!
Because it always ends the same...
maybe it's best to just forget each others names.

Hearts are forgetful, sadly. 😥
Heart break. --- Because it always ends the same. Nicely Done!!!
I love this so much
I've been through this exact same thing. So sad to know that you have too. Sending you lots of love and hugs ❤️
The rhyme on these lines, "Next thing I know, you and your actions fall flat. / Oh, how I wish my heart could remember that!" makes the frustration so present. The sharpness of the words draws the rhythm along too. Loved this!
