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

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.

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.

[berenongur]

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.

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.

[berenongur]

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.

[berenongur]

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.

[apennylate]

I feel an exorcism is the only way to cleanse a vengeful spirit... that or death...
The finality of fire, the pang of the absolute.
We block just to pine, pine just to carve out immutable time against our heart.
Sadly written...

[berenongur]

I'm glad to see you here:)
You are a legend to use words, you are one of a kind.
Thank you so much for your time,

[apennylate]

Ahh, no problem!
You are a legend! Thanks for the kindness

[redzone]

I don't think you ever really get over someone you have loved, even after an exorcism. For me, and where your poem took me, is, am I a better person because of this love? Have I grown and better understood what I want out of a love? If we can do this, I believe we can recapture that smile in the photos, even if that love was toxic. And here is a question, if this poem is something very personal, more autobiographical, Have you grown? Do you see your own self-worth, so that the next time you love, that kiss will be for the first time!!

Thanks for sharing your poem Berenongur

You're absolutely right. It's just a process that passes with time. At first it's easy to believe that you'll never love again and never be happy again, but one day you hear the same song again and you're like, "Hey I was happy back then, this song doesn't hurt anymore, I'm happy without him and it's a really good song." You can think of it like the stages of grief, at first denial and anger parts can not accept the loss. But then you accept, It passes with time and makes you a better lover for yourself and for the next one.

Thank you so much for your time sir, have a nice evening...

[Ken Simm.]

There are times when I could so empathise with this stiringly written poem.

[berenongur]

Hope you won't ever feel like this again... thank you for reading and paying attention

[Ken Simm.]

At least I could spell then.
