A recent thunderstorm inspired me to write 3 poems. I've already shared 2 of them, titled "Sing Me a Song" and "Don't Underestimate Me". Here's poem number 3, which was inspired by the heroine from my latest romance novel SEDUCED IN SPAIN.
Poem: Memories
I’m sitting by the window, trying
Not to slip back in time again
And take a trip down memory lane
Because I’ll just end up crying
I’m lying in my bed, wide awake
Cursing my inability to see
That you never cherished me
And made my lovesick heart break
I’m walking with my head held high
Pretending that I’m all over you
Though forgetting you is hard to do
And every breath is a painful sigh
I’m sitting by the window, thinking why
I couldn’t arm myself against your charm
Couldn’t see that loving you meant harm
And yet another day of regrets goes by
I’m lying in my bed, counting the stars
Wondering if you remember me too
Recall all the things we used to do
Feel the painful itch beneath the scars
I’m walking with both feet on the ground
But my head is high up in the clouds
Full of memories, dreams and doubts
Waiting forever to be searched and found
I’m sitting by the window with my broken heart
Asking myself whether it was worth the pain
Whether I was meant to lose again and again
And our love story was doomed from the start
I’m lying in my bed, longing for your touch
Whereas you have forgotten my name
Wondering if to you I was only a game
Realizing that I gave of myself too much
I’m walking alone on a road dark and long
Trapped in a world of unrequited love
Eternally waiting for a sign from above
Clueless as to what on earth went wrong
Silently singing a sad, sad song
