Too late we sometimes realize what could have been...


Poem Artwork

Memories For Sale


By: Fee


 


I reach out for…what love used to be


Wish I’d known…what I couldn’t see


Our faded picture…in a dusty frame


Her smiling face…still looks the same


Sixties music…eight track tape case


Brings back memories…time can’t erase


A box full of dishes…pink rose design


How I wish…they could have been mine


 


She just got tired…of waiting alone


Then she met a man…who took her home


I read the news…her Momma wrote


And inside from her…a little note


Oh please come home…I still love you


She said her heart…inside was true


My foolish pride…got in the way


Now I’ll cry my tears…the price I pay


They say he beat her so…that final night


That now she basks…in Heaven’s light


 


Beside the boxes…alone sitting on a chair


A ragged stuffed Teddy…won at a fair


I remembered what…she said that night


Holding our Teddy…will keep you near


I bought the picture…and that ragged bear


Yard sale memories…of what was before


God it hurts…that she’s not here no more

Oh, this one is so sad, Fee. Written with a lot of emotion and i'm sure, the pain of remembering. Filled with so much longing and remorse. Very nostalgic. Thank you for sharing it.

Be well, my friend.

This poem wrecks havoc in my heart. Often the choices we make seem like exactly the "right" ones, but then tomorrow comes and ... Monday morning quarterback syndrome. I believe, hurts are there as a beacon.

Be well...........love, Kathy

We make decisions never knowing what will be down the road. The scars are there and the guilt but the heart still will always beat true for the loss.

Did you HAVE TO put an old teddy bear on? I usually read the poem first, then scroll back up to see the picture and take in the meaning of it all.
This poem, with its heart-wrenching memories, is so moving, but the sight of the bear puts an aching exclamation point on it all!
If this is really your personal memory, God bless you and give His peace. We all have regrets. Hopefully, it is your empathetic poet's heart feeling the pain for someone else's memories.

You brought this nightmare with you to paper. Now I'm never going to get some sleep.
Truly, though, it has a great twist. Not at all where my mind was going. And the layout literally had me reading to the cadence of my breaths.
You guided not only my mind but my very body on this piece.
