Should I Forget

Should I Forget

A Poem by Alicia Huntley

My body tingles.
Not in pleasure, 
but in hurt. 

Your eyes and heart avert.

I feel cold. 
So very cold. 
I feel alone. 

Lies I should have known. 

My heart beats quickly, 
not in passion, 
but in anxiety and fear.

How quickly you promised to be here. 

I shake. 
I shake violently. 
I cannot breath.

Easily you chose to leave. 

It hard to not be afraid.
Its hard not to be upset.
Should I wish our memories to fade?
Will happiness come when I forget?

I like your idea here. If you can forget something so scarring then bravo. I think it's natural to feel afraid and upset, but believe it or not the memories will fade if you let them. Nice poem :)

my pleasure dear.
"Lies I should have known".....loved this line. Recalls back to mind a similar sort of line from another or your poems - I think You to Me.


I think Alicia this is best of your stuff I've so far read.....you write with such force, and character.



I don't know whether you came across my last message - I've now posted some of my own writing finally: the opening of the story, which I'm trying to now find an agent for.


Croyan, and Mariel......their the two characters being narrated about.
