Haunted

A broken heart finding it hard to let go of the past.

She put trust in all of me,

The things I didn't see.

I thought it was all the same,

All the pain blinded by my shame.

So what now can I say?

 

I would give anything to go back in time,

And make things between her and me alright.

She means everything to me,

I gave her my heart and the key.

Even years later my days are still nights.

 

She’s only a dream for me today,

A distant memory only I can see.

I don’t think anyone should love this way.

Wishing I can go right back and keep her away from me.

 

 

I can’t keep her away,

Even when I’m dreaming I can’t keep her away.

I can’t keep her this way,

Even when I’m dreaming I can’t live this way.

I have to rip her out and tell her she can longer stay.

Author's Note

This is a very old piece written when I was in a much darker place. I have decided to share.

Thanks for sharing. I like how the last stanza plays with different thoughts of way/away. Keep pouring yourself into your writing, and the painting of Dorian Gray won't be haunting.
