A Memory Gap. Poem by Gordon David

There may be gaps in my memory
I still recall the day you left me
The radio was playing our song
You left me empty, and all alone
I hit the bottle, drinking on my own
Drinking to forget, the love I’d known

There’s no love here, only emptiness
Nothing here for you, just bitterness
You broke my heart, but it did not die
I’m over you now, and that’s no lie

Pictures of you I threw in the bin
I always hated your dimpled chin
Standing there with that look on your face
Why are you here, infecting my space?

When you left me crying on the floor
You hurt me so much, now there’s the door
Loving you was my only mistake
I was sleeping, now I’m wide awake
