the pain of memory.

i will not remember you my love,
i will not remember us,
i will not recall our life at all,
i will not recall our bliss.

not for me a life of yearning,
not for me all doom and gloom,
i cannot be unhappy darling,
i cannot think of you to soon.

no reminisces of your kisses,
no reminisces of your wishes,
no memories from the things i do,
no memories to hold on to.

i must forget all the past,
i must forget it all at last,
i cannot think of all the cost,
i cannot think of all I've lost.

Yes fond memories can be painfull.
Hopefully as time goes by they
will be viewed in a different lite
as they were joyous at the time.

applause This is a firm resolution to escape the grasp of heartbreak. Beautiful poem.

your comment sounds like a line from a poem in itself.the poem was a wry account,and the meaning behind was that,no matter what i did,there was no escape from my grief.

I can't agree with this more:
"This is a firm resolution to escape the grasp of heartbreak"

Sometimes when you look back, you would rather remember the bad memories just to remember them at all. ( Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind) Jim Carey movie if you never seen it you have to.

yes at the time,recalling memories was like riping a scab from a wound,so yes sometimes its necessary to cut off from memories in order to heal..

This poem is so very, very true.

The ONLY way I can ever move on is to forget completely. Else it's 'cower in the corner and cry' syndrome for a long time.

Thanks for sharing this.
