A promise not to forget
becomes a dare to remember
Memories are mere tools
the painful smiles makes me tremble.
you chose the practical way
nip the roots,avoid the tree
words had no essence for you
you were chained to set me free.

I <3 this. I know exactly what you mean.
Wow…this was an excellent reading poem.
very deep and moving. the persons sounds really selfish
I usually like to pick out a phrase or two from a poem that grabs me. This whole damned poem grabbed.
A promise not to forget becomes a dare to remember!
That one should be on the top of my planner page.
You were chained to set me free!
This is as good of a play on words as will ever be seen.
