present memories of the past

pieces of him still haunt me.

Current mood: distraught

"present memories of the past"
 
 I don't understand this horror
 Have you ever cared about someone so much
 you can't sleep at night without hearing their
 voice?
 
   I took that fall i thought it was true,
 Thought it was a guarantee that he would catch me.
 Now i'm out here drowning... i can't find my way back
 to shore.
 i don't know who i am anymore.
 
   I wish you didn't walk out that door with my heart
 in hand, I don't think ill ever see it again.
 
 Now that you're gone i don't have an appetite.
 I don't understand why we can't make things right.
 You give me little reasons but it's nothing that i
 can't change.
 
 this pain won't ever leave me... is it just me or
 have my eyes decieved me?
 
 He made me laugh,he made me smile, he made me feel
 like my life was worth while.
 
 The way he would look at me ,i felt it was real.
 I still do, my heart hasn't given up on you,
 as bad as my mind wants to, something just keeps me
 holding on.
 
 When i wake up he's on my mind untill i go to bed
 everynight.
 then i see him in my dreams.
    
   His ghost is constantly Haunting me,
Reminding me of what we used to be.

I liked the irony in the title, and I think you captured that in the poem - that even though your memories are in the past, you're still haunted by them everyday. There were a few typos, for example "garentee" should be "guarantee", but otherwise, I enjoyed the almost diary-like feel of this poem. My favorite stanza was the third, great imagery! :)
