Your soul still lingers by my side.
why will you not leave..........
I once loved you with everything that I am.
Now I just need you to go away....

I see you in the middle of the night
You take over my thoughts and dreams...
Please leave me alone.......
I need to move on...........

When you did what you did you carried me with you...
And part of your soul became attached to mine...
You became a permanent scar to my existence...
An eternal lesson.................

The woman that I knew has departed....No where to be found...
Yet she will not give me peace...Please go....
My own soul screams for forgiveness, for a reason...
What did I do to deserve this endless torture? Really What did I do?

I will say Good bye once again
in hopes that you will depart in the night...
There is only one favor I ask.....
Please take all the memories with you,
I can't stand to look back anymore.....

Mike -- This is very nicely written. And I can totally identify with the sentiment. We really do need to learn from that "eternal lesson."

Mike, we can all relate to that feeling...thanks for sharing another great poem!

(((((((Mike))))))))
Spoken from the heart & soul!
The worse part is the self torture!!!

Very Nice

Thanks for the comments......Almost didn't post this one

nice wording, the problems with the memories are, they're the source of living too, regardless thier ststus

You have truly captured in words that tangled feeling that can
be with us from the past.
But you can be free due to your willingness to move on towards a future.
Excellent emotional perception....
Bravo!!!
