Memories

It's where I retreat
And where I explore,
It's where we met
And where you left.

It's when I taught you
To dance,
And when you learned to
Cry.

It's how you first lived,
While finally accepting
Your mortality.

It's why you can,
And why I can't,
It's why we laughed
And why we kissed.

It's the reason you came back,
And the reason I let you.
It's the reason you're here now,
Though you shouldn't be.

Because, you're different now.
You've changed.
The person who lives
In my mind
Is gone.

It's where we met.
It's when you cried.
It's how you lived.
It's why you can.
It's the reason you came back.
And the reason
I have to let
You go.

Because in those months
That we were apart,
Those teeny, tiny months
You changed.
And I changed.

I wish I could be
The person I am
In your mind.
I wish you were
The person you were
In my memory.

But I can't.

You and me,
Will never be we
Again.

Because
Of
Memories.

Sounds familiar...it really captures what a lot of people feel. I love it. I love the style you wrote it in, jerky and separated. Really, really good.

That was impressive i must say, memories can be pleasant but sometimes they are hard to live with. I like the rhyming in the beginning lines, but i observed the pattern didn't follow in the subsequent lines, i don't know, maybe that is your pattern of writing, nice laying down of thoughts, a good one, keep it up.

Hello, I liked the poem. Your emotions ar nicely protrayed and I found it very sweet.
I like this line:

It's where I retreat,
And where I explore,
It's where we met,
And where I left.

It's when I taught you,
To dance,
And when you learned to,
Cry.

It is not the only stanza I liked but overall well done

I really like this poem. I feel like it's along the lines of the statement "I don't love you, I love who you used to be." & I'm sure there are plenty of people that can relate to that!

Regarding the line "It's how you first lived,While finally excepting,Your mortality." I think you might've mean accepting? Sorry if I'm wrong but I know those kinds of things can be tricky

Hey, here to review! Overall, nice work, although you used a lot of commas where they were not needed. Anyway, here we go (my comments will be blue)...

It's where I retreat,
And where I explore,
It's where we met,
And where I left.I liked this stanza

It's when I taught you,(No comma)
To dance,
And when you learned to,(No comma
Cry.Would be better without the commas breaking it up, but nice.

It's how you first lived,
While finally accepting,
Your mortality.This stanza does not need commas! If you want, put one only after "lived"

It's why you can,
And why I can't,
It's why we laughed,
And why we kissed.Good.

It's the reason you came back,
And the reason I let you,
It's the reason you're here now,
Though you shouldn't be.Good; getting into a storyline without saying it flat- out

Because, you're different now.
You've changed.
The person who lives,(No comma)
In my mind,(No comma)
Is gone.I liked this

It's where we met,
It's when you cried,
It's how you lived,
It's why you can,
It's the reason you came back,
And the reason,(No comma)
I have to let,(No comma)
You go.

Because in those months,(No comma)
That we were apart,
Those teeny, tiny months,
You changed.
And I changed.Good use of repetition!

I wish I could be,(*sigh* No comma!)
The person I am,
In your mind.These 3 lines were kind of confusing. I got it (eventually), but maybe try rewording?
I wish you were,(No comma)
The person you were,
In my memory.

But I can't.Good way to break it up

The thing that once brought us
Together,(No need for the comma)
Has torn us apart.
You and me,
Will never be we
Again.Good stanza! But what once brought you together? Don't just mention it then throw it out the window without explanation.

This poem was good. It had a broken up feeling, but it worked here. Last time I will say it, but stop using so many commas! At some parts, it became confusing because there were too many. I liked the poem overall, though. Good work, and never stop writing!
