PlagueA Poem by Shannon Miller
You plague me
When I wake When I sleep Your face Your voice Your touch Walking dream Waking nightmare That won't end Feelings of loss Feelings of longing Wont' desist I dream of your face And wake, ever sad Thoughts of you Will not cease Never ending Is the yearning Affection is lost Longing slowly replaced By unyielding wrath Pain breeds contempt Anger and rage Undying But your face Your smile Your touch Refuse to leave me Longing and hate For things once felt Once everything Now nothing Emptiness where You once laid Naught but cold Where you sat Leave me Let me go Bring me peace Don't harass me With your ghost Only memories I want to forget Move one And let you go Yet you stay Haunting my days Tormenting my nights Don't stay Please, go away Retrieve your ghost Banish your kiss Let me live Without your plague
