Burning Away Your Memory
By Paul Wilson


I’d burn away your memory
but tears keep putting out the flame
Life is getting harder to cope with
my broken heart will never be the same

Falling star pulled from sky
downward spiral to it’s demise
Another day is dawning but
in my life there’s no sunrise

I travel round in circle’s path
looking for a road back to you
Life has no directions to follow
we just do the best we can do

My drug of choice is loneliness
I’m addicted since you went away
The circle of my existence
always the same everyday

I’ve returned a thousand times
to the past of me and you
Memories of you I can’t find
just an empty heart scarred by you

On tomorrows hope I will dream
of someone I thought I knew
My wish for today I will share
with the one I still love… you

I wish your memory would set me free
so that I may live again
I wish that you still loved me
and this loneliness would end



~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~
Paul

Paul, I was able to appreciate and enjoy your poem more knowing that it was "fictional".

You are such a gentle, graceful writer. YOur poetry reads so smoothly and never fails to touch this reader.

Happy spring!

Paul, before this write here, I never thought of loneliness as a drug of choice, but I see it now

always love to read you, fictional or not my friend
