I remember the nights
we would talk to the
wee hours of the morning
I remember when they
stopped because you
decided you could not
commit

I remember moving on
and the next relationship
being as bad as the first
In the beginning
we wrote letters to each
other faithfully

Then I found out he
was a player
just like the first
and I said to hell
with this

Now it is years later
and I am still
haunted by my
ghosts of the past
Who broke my heart
so love has never
entered it again

Anger comes up
from time to time
from the memories
I wish would leave
my mind
The memories
I wish to
forever forget

One day I hope
these memories
will just
fade into nothing
and theGhosts
of the past
Will be no more

Thank you for your comment! I just had to write what I was thinking about.

Putting out thoughts on paper, rather on PiP, is very therapeutic. I know. It took me some time, but I chased my demons away finally by writing about them. Good luck with yours. There is someone for everyone, and I hope you realize yours soon.

Writing out your feelings is good therapy, DA32, and cheaper than a shrink.

It's up to you, and this is a good sign
you want to get rid of those
Ghost of the Past.

Enjoyed the read.

sounds like you knew the same man as me? LOL
I promise you, it does get better...in brief encounter with this summer romance, he orchastrated everything, right down to the words I needed to hear...look at it this way...you didn't deserve him and the very little he had to give you...some of us love much more responsibly then others...he gave you all he knew how to give, which isn't very much, but unfortuately, some people just do not have a clue when it comes to the meaning of love....don't allow this person to spoil your faith in people...grow from it, by realizing why you chose him...and keep writing...always...heartwrenching poem.
Love
