Haunted...

Haunted...

A Poem by XO Vee

9/7/13
That is how it is written
And that is exactly how it haunts me
It sometimes takes a life of its own
And leaves me breathless
Because it is not our date
It is not our anniversary
So what is he flaunting for the world to see
Why does he want to embarrass me
What date is more important then ours
I guess I will never know but that date
This date will always haunt me
In the latest of the hours

We never truly forget do we? Can almost remember that exact moment down to the very second when the pain was felt. As if we don't want to forget. As if that moment of despair becomes something of a building block, something of a constant reminder of 'once upon a time' and a devastatingly lost happily ever after. The line, "What date is more important than ours", had truly spoke to me... As this is it. What date is more important? No other... Entirely adore this piece, XO. It had made me a tad angry and a tad lonely and a tad empowered and a tad heartbroken. Such wondrous emotions felt in something so brief, and yet, powerfully delivered. Brilliant! Here's to eventually forgetting.

The strong stench of torment! Anniversaries however nice the sentiment can be haunting and torturous. Nicely done. The bold font is a little lost on me though I can be rather thick at times. R

I suppose if someones flaunting the date. He's left with someone else. Or worse, he's gay.

Well expressed, mom always told us, when a relationship is dead, bury it. Perhaps you haven't done that yet. Valentine

The vibe that I get from this is the day you two split up. Or if I really wanted to get into it then it could be the day you found out the truth about something they had been hiding. It takes your mind to different places and I like that a lot.

I like the sentiment, of anniversaries as forms of ghosts and torture.

And I can feel the undercurrent of vulnerability, anger and sadness.

I just don't get the bold words part. Maybe I'm just being dense.

But the torment does come through regardless
