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 ..

Having to let someone go, is so hard.....and here you write of that struggle beautifully, full of emotion and pain, so realistic and sad.

[Geralyn Miller]

This work has power and delicacy of word; you have expressed something many have experienced in a wonderful poem. The only criticism is, you need some punctuation,, commas, particularly.

[Deviant Works]

Written very well. You kept to the purpose of the poem with ease, a nice flow of words.

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

Oh, how I can relate. The burden of dreams.

[Frantzuu]

Great poem :)

there's a defiant acceptance in this poem..you acknowledged that it was a difficult journey but one you had to complete..inspirational to someone who is facing moving on after a relationship, really enjoyable

[momo]

very emotional poem, also very relateable im sure all of us at one point or another in life have gone through this moment and it is indeed as you describe it very good!

[Morgan]

I very much like this, I feel this way right now. I was just in a bad break up and I want the person back... But I really want to forget them

[Cherrie]

this was very good poem and I loved this line...You say you don't hate me
but I know if I were an enemy It would kill me more gently..

[Marie Harrison]

Loved this poem, it was very moving. Similar to the poem that I just read too. Very odd coincidence.
