Cant Let Go

Pretty self explanatory.

My past haunts me like a ghost.
I cover my ears,
I don't want to hear it plead.

 

"Let me go
How will I ever be a memory
If you wont let me go?"

 

I close my eyes and pretend not to hear,
I sink into a scene once lived.
Rocking back and forth,
I re-live every detail
As if it were yesterday.

 

"Let me go"
I hear, breaking through my thoughts,
Now growing louder.
"Let me go."

 

Louder, and Louder,
Now screaming
"Let me go"
I squeeze my eyes so tight they sting.
"Let me go."

 

Finally I've had all I can take,
I scream so loud my throats on fire.
I cant let you go
If I do I will cease to exist.

Author's Note

Grammar problems??? I really have no clue how poetry is supposed to be arranged since I don't write it much.

Reviews

i love poetry, because there are no rules.
each verse that was intended as poetry, becomes just that.
it is your ART.

[An owl on the moon]

This is a stunning write, in both form and depth! You capture the psychological essence of a tormented soul, wanting to move on but ever connected to the past... I prefer to believe that the form of poetry is less important than the power of the heart communicated through it! Brilliant!

This is so strong. The emotion and desire to hold onto the past is clear. The feeling of the past being all there is left can be treacherous. Good writing.

i couldn't tell that you haven't written it much cause it was really great... i'm guessing it is about wanting to let go, but he won't let you , or you are too afriad to.
nice!!!
