Exorcism

Haunted by memories and reminders.

Thoughts floating
Of you.
Images taunting
Of you.
A ghostly picture
You remain.
Haunting my light,
And dooming my dreams.

Won't you leave me?
A phantom hovering in my darkness.
Your loving soul
And warming presence
Doesn't belong here,
Any more.
It just tears me
In two.

          Please
          Leave me.
          I set you free.

I have to pick you up on your spelling darlin'...Exorcism...Soul...Let him go, he's flown the coup...He HAS left and what remains is only in your mind, if you don't actively change your thought patterns to something positive, you will dig yourself a hole and fall right in it!I think your poem is a work of art...truly beautifully written for someone who doesn't deserve it...

yeah it sure does suck to still be in love with your ex. believe me I know and u captured the feeling. great job.

Very nice write. I'd say this is about as good as they get. You have to feel the pain to rebuild your life; imagine! There's so much joy you have waiting for you ... hope you can handle it all! *hugs ;-)

Pain just pours from these lines. I guess we have all felt this way at some time. Love hurts. Sometimes I think it hurts a lot more than it feels good. Is it worth it?

A spectre of memory, fantasy, love or a grudge held, all can be just like irritating splinters festering in infected boils begging escape in an explosion of emotion. Wanting to let it all go is a familiar feeling.

I is always so tough to forget when there is so much there to remind us. A poem full emotion looking for something. In the end there is a touch of hope with the release of our past. Great write.
