Letting Go of Your Ghost

Letting Go of Your Ghost

 

Even though we were over

   a long time ago ..

   

It still hurts like hell today ..

And even now,

when I find a trace of you

somewhere

and recount what we once

used to call our

 

  uncomplicated love affair ..

Take for instance,

a flake, or a wisp or a taste

of you on some

old, chipped and likewise

discarded

 

  porcelain tea cup perhaps ..

Or your sweet,

unmistakable scent on an

   unopened envelope ..

As I stumble somehow on

   your intimate DNA ..

Such little things mean so

much more to me

these days and effectively

prevent me

   

from letting go of your ghost ..

I am still learning how to do this...how to let go of my ghosts. Perhaps I should take pen to paper and see what reveals itself. Thank you for a mesmerizing and thought provoking read, Nev. Take care, my friend!

You've made an interesting point here, Nev. One I will take into consideration when I write about my "ghosts"!
