Never Will Be

Once you shined so bright

I was blinded by your light

But now darkness has fallen

My soul is stripped bare

The sepulcher of your memory

Haunts me still

 

Away!

Away from me spirit of the past!

I beg to be free from your torment!

That which I loved has broken me

I must escape…

Run o Soul!

Flee from this prison shredded heart!

Hide buried amid the ruins

Of what could have been

But never will be.

I can definitely relate to this poem. - There are those memories that are haunting - and though we try to forget, we try to be free - they manage to find us when we least expect it.

Heartfelt and well written

Thank you Julie for the review.
This was definitely a poem written from that place where it seems one cannot escape from pain of memories.
I am so glad to hear another heart can relate! :)

This phrasing @-@ modern but oddly reminiscent as well. I enjoyed

Thank you Kai.
I like to mix modern with a bit of the classical :)
