i remember

(simply letting go is not a physical choice)

By BrenPublished 3 years ago Updated 2 years ago 1 min read

i remember everything

some of it and nothing at all

i held your hand and you held back

and then you let me fall

i remember falling

and being dashed upon the earth

out of my mind and out of control

so were you for what it was worth

i hold on to the memories

you can’t take them away

i can remember everything

like it was only yesterday

i hold on to all our yesterdays

they’re in my head and there to stay

i can try and i often deny

but i won’t make them go away

i remember nothing

every little nothing we had to say

nothing is what we had to give

and it was nothing we took away

i remember walking…

away from everything that day

nothing was all i had to take

and nothing could make me stay

i remember bits and pieces

i relive them once in a while

some have the power to hurt me still

but most just make me smile

i thought i was finally over you

but that’s not happened yet

i remember everything

everything i want to forget

heartbreak

    "nothing is what we had to give and it was nothing we took away" I'm utterly speechless. Absolutely stunning! All of our exes have made us better writers, haven't they?
