An old poem

She picks up an old piece of paper
A poem dating back many years,
Puts it away, decides to read it later,
She’s tempted to read it, but a few tears
Water her deep, beautiful black eyes
And struggling with herself, she tries
Not to relive the pain inflicted by him,
Recalling the breakup which made her sad,
But also made her patient and strong,
And reminiscing the good moments they had,
She finally realizes that it would be wrong
To live in the past, to hold on to the faded dream,
To be carried away with the memories about him.

(Based on my novel “The Last Ring”)
