You Will Forever Haunt Me ღ KKD ღ

A Poem by Donna DeLong Matthews aka Gold Pen Ghost


You Will Forever Haunt Me

 



Like thunder in the dead night
it rumbles deep within
for now its only about
Me and my surviving

My love I gave
You cast aside
You try so hard
to strip my pride

You treat me as though
I'm nothing at all
This decision you made
will not be my fall.

The measure of a man
is his dealings with life
You choose to hide
causing others such strife

The cowards way
I never would have thought
The pain you cast out
upon others you have brought

My love embers for the old you
will forever burn
But my soul for you not to torture
for this I do yearn.

The road back to goodness
should you ever choose to trod
will be rocky and rough
and in the hands of God.

You took what was beautiful
and so meant to be
but chose to turn it ugly
casting such pain onto me

Your head should hang with shame
your heart to feel my pain
My life you so torture
Tell me what is your gain

The man I loved so dearly
was he but a betrayed dream?
Did he never exist
just part of your ugly twisted scheme?

What is your point
What is your twisted goal
To take what was openly given
and kill my loving soul.

If to take me to my knees
was what this is all about
Then Glorious Victory
is what you should shout

Upon this pool reflecting
I leave these purple flowers
In rememberance of you
and a love that once was ours

You leave me alone
no reasoning I can see
to deal with what you leave behind
and you will forever haunt me

"Your head should hang with shame
your heart to feel my pain "

My Dearest of Dearest Friend,

I lived this sad story with you and the lines above is so very true. I have told you a million times that
This sad ending is his loss but he has beaten you down so and hurt you so deeply that you may
never in you heart of hearts believe me. It is like stepping back into time as I go through what I know
is so painful for you to repost to Writer's Cafe, but as we always say, our writing is our therapy.

This brought me to tears. How oh how could he have stepped away from a love that was so true?
I guess neither of us will ever understand.

My sweet friend, we are back where we belong. Within a poets hall expressing our hearts.
Welcome back my dear friend Donna. Frank is a true fool!!

My Love,
Lesa

This is such a melancholic tale but presented so well and is such a familar occurence. You have very well captured the essence of a being that throws the feelings o another aside - one whom he had claimed to love. Well done. Thank you for sharing your talent.
Light,
Siddartha

The imagery you convey within your piece takes hold of the reader and leads them with you on a journey of self awareness. This is very heart felt and cathartic. Your emotion is so very evident throughout the piece. I love the flow it takes.
