An open letter to my memories...

by silent turbulence   Sep 27, 2009


Why can't you leave me alone?
Why come haunt me like ghosts from my past?
Especially when it wasn't meant to be..
Especially when it wasn't even really there to last!

Every page I turn,
Hoping to start on a blank slate
I see traces of what was scribbled before,
Distorted by; illusion, broken trust and hate.

Every step I take,
Crawling out of the cracked case,
Shattered glass reflecting yesterday,
Pierce into my heel; slowing my pace.

My memories; let me be,
I want to be left alone,
I don't need you to come irk me now
When the rest of it is gone...

Forbid the laughter's echo,
Resonance of the songs sung all along,
The sounds and smell, all still lingers here,
Reminding me of all the times I've been wronged!

The shadows of the times gone past us,
Keep coming to me like flashbacks...
Of a beautiful dream turned disastrous
Memories; go hide away from me..
One day, when everything else fades into nothingness...
I shall call you all back...

That's when I would need you,
To get back that smile on my face!

*somethings are either way too beautiful or way to painful to be put into precise words...
I hope I did justice here*

Painful or Beautiful... I can't decide...

    Memories...so often are tainted over time..some made more beautiful, others so painful you just want to forget about them.

    I think you made a cleverly worded poem here:)

    Well done,

    5/5 Ingrid
