Description
"A Year Ago This Week"
It was a year ago this week
that the woman I loved
told me to stop
sending her flowers
and cards
and that she felt
nothing for me
It was a year ago this week
that I felt more pain
than I've ever felt
in my life
It was a year ago this week
that I hated life
more than I've ever loved it
The pain is numbed
but the memory
and love
remain
I date
I'm social
I stay active
Yet
I miss her
Sometimes I wish
I could wipe the memory
from my mind
forget her
and move on
Not a day passes
without thinking
about her
Obsessed?
Possibly
Would I take her back?
In a heartbeat
Some day
another may kindle
the flame of love
in my heart
without her memory
extinguishing it
Some day
one may step into
the light of my life
and not be merely a shadow
to the one
who touched me
like no other
Some day
A year ago this week
A year ago
And I'm still
not over her.

Such an honest expression of pain, of loss, of quiet desperation. But those four first lines grabbed my soul, and I think I will remember them forever. These 4 lines are not clever semantics, they are rough and torturing universal expressions of despair. And I'm so glad for you that there will be "another poem", showing us that humans are survivors, whatever the setbacks. Thank you so much for this poem!
