Remember Me...

[l0ckd0wn]

We stood in that doorway
As the switch fell

Light turned to dark
You pulled me close and kissed me

All of the world was forgotten
Your lips were like honey

I held you close
The seconds turned to minutes

I wanted nothing more
Never to let go of your grasp

Hold on to the thought
Something more and real

I told you just a kiss
Pursuing not your body

Of all things desired
A moment together again

Yet a kiss was all
I asked and you gave

Yet I could have taken hold
Held you down in lust

Knowing you would have given
Your body was a temple to me

I could not disgrace my sanctuary
Tearing at threads and buttons

All the while wanting more
Knowing that kiss was the last

Now I lay me down alone
You would never share my bed again

A piece of my life is gone
A chapter written and torn out

The knowledge of you being home again
Close enough to bring you back

For why would I bring back
What does not want me anymore

All was only a short while
Knowing you needed help

I could not give you peace
Only attempt to comfort

Never enough to keep you near
Leaving the scent and feel of you

The memory of your beautiful body
Laying in my arms through the night

The only good thing left in me
Engulfing my days in pain

I miss you here and now
But I am just a faint star in your sky

Burning out in time
Left to implode in my own space

Remember me
Please...

nice write.

The memory of your beautiful body
Laying in my arms through the night

I miss you here and now
But I am just a faint star in your sky

i found these to be really good lines

i hope your day panned out sweeter.

Lets just say I hate valentines day... Even when I had someone I never quite liked it... it seems almost superficial, and now that I am alone, it is just a pin in my side poking at my heart...

there's a lot of feeling in this, i enjoy it

ouch... i especially relate to the ghost of that used-to-be-special someone in my bed... i'd dream that they were there beside me, holding me... and absolutely freak out when it was the opposite. my wounds are healed now, with someone far superior now, and Hallmark Day can still suck a nut - i really am tired of consumer-driven holidays - even christmas bugs me. i don't need an excuse, or a given day to show a person how much i love and care about them. great poem, a bit heart-wrenching, honest...

I absolutely agree... I feel the same way about "Sweetest Day" or however its spelled...

Thank you for your kind words... I just wish I could find more positive things to write about... who knows, I got some good stuff comming up, maybe I can pull some inspiration...

There's a lot of raw emotion in that piece, l0ckd0wn... what can I say, love between two people is always painful.

For what it's worth, my wife and I don't "observe" Valentine's Day, basically for the reasons Amanita Mary mentioned. I usually end up writing her a poem to mark the occasion, though - along the lines of "Valentine's Day sucks because..."

lockdown...who cares about finding more positive things to write about... write what you feel and don't force it... a great poem (like the one you've written above) is pulled directly from where you feel it and doesn't need to be found or forced in the slightest. don't worry about finding positive words if they're not there - write what you damn feel at that moment, spit it all out, and eventually the good happy butterfly things will come.

^ That's very good advice.
