The Maze of Your Ghost

 

 

 

You're unbelievably good at

avoiding my pleading gaze

 

And the louder I scream

the faster I fade into haze

 

You say you don't hate me

but I know if I were an enemy

It would kill me more gently..

 

Atleast, I would exist in your pitch black eyes

 

My tears will be no longer a captive

of waiting for your forgivness

That I have decided.

 

I'll pretend I never knew you

I'll pretend I didn't break anything

or wrestle the pounding pain within

 

I'll walk through you too

even though, everytime I try to

I end up in a maze

of remembering your everyday smile

 

I try to rinse your scent off my skin

and I curse the morning I wake up

with the portrait of you in my head

 

I will forget you.

I will forget you.

I HAVE to forget you.

and you will vanish leaving

my misused smile in peace

 

But first...I need some sleep

and a new untainted dream

in which your memories decease ..

I liked this. There was something dark and broken about this.

[Coyote Poetry]

Amazing poem and photo. The photo made the words come alive. Something can't disappear from our memory. Thank you for the haunting tale. A outstanding poem.

This is a very well written piece, well done!

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

I must say very impressive...

I'll pretend I never knew you
I'll pretend I didn't break anything
or wrestle the pounding pain within

I know this feeling all too well, too bad the pretending doesn't turn real...
the poem is emotionally packed and creative.

[Frank F. Atanacio]

The photo reminded me of "The Truman Show," but the poem was different. Yet it fit, which didn't surprise me, but satisfied me. It's really good -- the word choice and fluency especially. Nice job.
