Amnesia
Forget all the quarrels,
the deceits and disappointments,
each time you were humiliated
and cheated by your lover
and every time you caused upsets
that never could be cured.
Forget all about your failures
as a lover fool and freak and fake
and concentrate instead on that which mattered,
your true love which always was there aching,
burning under cover in its constantly abused faithfulness,
surviving every winter and catastrophe
in spite of all, to go on loving,
which is all the memory that counts:
the memory of love that never dies.
