Memories

The pains she had caused
The tears she had forced
The hearts she had crushed
The love she had lost

All no more than memories
Memories better left for the dead
better left for the past
better left behind

Yet, memories which refuse to let go
Virgin memories of suffering
Scarring memories
Printed memories

Its almost gothic
knowing that these memories
these very heartaches
have only got me urging for more

despite the pains and tears
I remain faithful to her
Till i find another excuse
just to be with her
