I tripped over you memory last night
And fell all over again
I bumped into your picture this morning
And began to feel the pain
I swam through your sorrow once again
And drowned in your rain
When I saw you last, it was the last time
Your words hurt me in a way that will never heal
When I last spoke with you, it was good bye
Your icy stare gave me chills
Thinking I’d never know love again
I locked myself away in my head
Never leaving the world of dreams
Never facing the true reality
I got up this morning looking around
For anything to remind me of you
All I could find is a ring on you finger
And smile upon your face as you watch me
I wish you would let me go from here
So I could let you rest
In reality, I am here and you are gone
But in my heart you’ve never left
I tripped over your memory last night
And fell all over again

Oh how true. I'm happily married yet I occasionally trip over a memory of a specter of the past who once thrashed my wolrd.

Your poem both eloquently, as well as plainly captures, that scene which many of us know only so well.

Excellent work.
