exorcism

I miss the way I was before you
My innocent face in photos
Unkissed, untouched by you
I love my eyes that hasn't looked into your eyes
I love my hands didn't hold by yours
I want to be cleansed from you
Not enough to delete photos
Not enough to delete messages
I need an exorcism

we all need cleansing, time to time. but, love can hurt as much as it can heal. this is powerfully expressed write. this feeling of trying to unbecome, unseen, undo what happened is truly needed to start back on a clean slate. writing is a great outlet to emotions and hope this one made you feel lighter. thanks for sharing. wish you well, always - Abhi

Every time i write something new I feel like something bad left my body, i think we writers are lucky cause of that.
Thank you so much for taking time to read and comment, I appreciated it. I missed your reviews!!!

you're most welcome! :)

I completely relate to this. I wish I never even met my ex. You should listen to the song I Wish I Never Met You by Babygirl and the song At Least I’m Pretty by Harriette. They both remind me of how you’re feeling

[Beren Ongur]

Awww these are great songs! Thank you for recommending me these! Loved it! And I’m so sorry about what you’ve been going through, it will pass. I am here if you ever need someone to talk! Thank you for reading!

If you find a way to carry this out let me know. Nicely penned.

I realized when he left my life, that devil already left. I experienced the exorcism when I finally let go of them. Maybe you are feeling absence of them, but trust me it’s better to let them go.
Thank you for reading and paying attention to comment!

What a way to remove some unwanted memories or moments. Nicely said.

Thank you much sir… the devil is out anymore.
Thanks for reading.

Oh, my, possessed by another? I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Obsession either. Because obsessing over someone is equally treacherous. It's better to come to the table with respect, love and understanding than with overblown expectations doomed to fail. But I don't think an exorcism is going to work in any case. I still enjoyed your employment of the idea in the poem.

[Beren Ongur]

I think that devil came out of me. I remember writing this with very strong feelings, but now I can't say anything because I can't feel such deep feelings for someone anymore, and to be honest, I'm afraid to read this poem. Still, looking back, time has healed everything. Thank you for reading.

strong medicine. we'll do anything to get rid of the demons that haunt. disturbing but nicely told.

how i wish i was the person before all the trauma. nowadays, im so bitter and angry and hate myself. these things surely show on my face too. an exorcism would be nice.

The past will always remain in the past and you will move forward and take steps towards the future. Breathe. Everything can change. Anything can happen at any moment. Your pain is not always your fault. Sometimes you need to change your perspective. No matter what you are going through, you deserve love, and most of all, you deserve your own love.

I am here if you want to talk, always.

Please take care of yourself and love yourself.
you got this!

thank you. i actually have been feeling a lot better. something happened yesterday and my chest is feeling lighter. and, i've started working on a new novel. writing is what i came to earth for, and working on it gives me joy like no other.

[Beren Ongur]

[Beren Ongur]

I need more explanation... but I'm glad it worked for you. thanks.

[Sami Khalil]

Will try to find you a good exorcist. If not, look in the phone book or Google it.
An old ritual, but it works.
Best wishes.

[Beren Ongur]

That devil is in me. A person can't escape from herself, right?

[Sami Khalil]

Hehehe. I guess love and romance might expel your devil. Just kidding.

[Beren Ongur]

what love? Is that real? I thought it was something made up like Santa Claus!!!

[Sami Khalil]

Different types of love. I meant sexual love and hot romance.
