How Easily We Forget

How easily we forget...

The emotional torment...
The times the tears flowed freely...
The times love lay dormant...
The times that we swore, "Never again."
The times we went without...
The times we hurt so bad...
All we wanted to do was shout..,

How easily we forget...

Why we ever ended...
Why the love stopped...
Why it was our hearts we were defendin...
Why we said, "It's over."...
Why we walked away...
Why we listened to our head...
Ignored what our heart had to say...

How easily we forget...

The lies that were spoken...
The pain that was exchanged...
The reason our hearts were broken...
The reason we gave up...
The times we stood starin'...
Just trying to figure out...
How we became emotionally barren...

How easily we forget...

Why we were no longer in love...
Why we had second thoughts...
What we were afraid of...
Why we ever left...
Why we swore we'd never forget...

And yet we forgot...
Now its another chance he gets...

Wow, that touched a big part of me. I understand exactley where your coming from, its something we all do, continously making the same mistake, forgetting the logical reasoning for a relationship not working and diving back in with pulsing emotion. Great work.

thanks u so much!

Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
