Please give me your attention <br />I’m not talking for my health <br />There has been some tension <br />And it’s threatening to make things go to hell <br /> <br />We may have wondrous nights <br />In which we talk till twilight <br />But the memory of the past still haunts us <br />The constant reminder of how things quickly fell apart <br /> <br />The beginning always repeats itself <br />With happiness and then a wry remark <br />Questions and doubts follow later <br />Delight extinguishing, leaving me in the dark <br /> <br />People ask me why I’m with you <br />Why I bother getting hurt <br />They tell me you don’t really listen <br />That you’re not worth it at all <br /> <br />Are you still with me? <br />Because the important part is coming up <br />I have come to my own conclusion <br />And it’s the one everyone wanted me to stay away from <br /> <br />No matter what happens <br />I’ll be patient and not doubt 'us' at all <br />And I’ll end this poetic cliché <br />With 'I will love you with all my soul and heart'<br /><br />Andrea Cebrecos<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/memories-of-the-past-2/
