Wraiths of Thought

Take it as you will

Memories and Wraiths flood and haunt me

Thoughts of touching you, oh, so taunting

A devilish voice plants seeds of despair

I miss our love, it was so rare

A rare love, almost too divine

After what I've done, I feel like swine

Doors open and doors close

I guess this is the life I chose

Of course, there's only one way out

Only, I'm reluctant, full of fear and doubt

 

I pray for something to make me clean

I only wish I knew what that means

I wish the world for you

I know you'll do all you can do

You're such an amazing person, very little you lack

You deserve better, I didn't watch your back

As much as I should have, I didn't, I was lazy...

And what happened after that night left my vision hazy

 

I hope no demons tease you with thoughts of us

I'm not worth remembering, I only cause distrust

You go and grow a better life

No more sorrow, no more strife..

 

I love you, always and eternity, all time

I'll miss you, but knowlegde of you doing well is just fine

For me...

this is a poem to be savoured for sure. It captures so much and it kinda makes me want to cry. the rhyme scheme is well put together and the words are impactful. its great.

I love the way that you touch every emotion somehow; sorrow, anger, etc and the fact that the narrator inevitably lets her go. Brilliant James, keep it up
