Love Poem: Marks

Marks

You have marked me for life
pain unforgiving
It brings pain to merely recite
The story unbearable, always living.

Never leaving, I see your face
These are just the start of the marks
It’s like getting hit with a mace,
Or getting bit by a Great White shark.

You’ve caused me pain
You’ve caused me misery
I feel so lame
While you are so busy.

You bring upon memories
Some good, some bad
We had such good chemistry
Since I was a mere lad.

Marks, never leaving
None have relief
I spent much time grieving
I’ve fell from high much faster than a leaf.

I will give up many to forget about you,
Yet you always come back to center stage
In my crowded mind, not in the mood
I am still amazed by your beautiful face.
