POEM STARTER

The Burden of Memory

Write a poem that could have this as its title.

the burden of memory

I see his face, I smile

I hear his voice, I blush

we lock eyes for a moment, and there it goes

I start to spiral

because that’s how you looked at me

the beginning of this story

is like the start of ours

and that’s what scares me

every time I see his big brown eyes

I’m reminded of yours

and I don’t even have to mention

the times I’ve seen him with you

you’re friends, I get it

but I really like this man

I hate you, you should know that by now

so every time I see him

or even just think of him

I remember you

I remember us

I remember what we could have been

I remember the hurt you made me feel

I remember the endless nights crying about nothing

I remember feeling so stupid

I remember it all

what if that happens again?

I can’t let it

I won’t

so now I’m stuck

I’m stuck between hating you

and really, really liking him

I don’t know what to do
