I call it a memory
its quite devastating
where ever I go
it keeps on following
it left me wandering
I still have it right in my heart
whatever I tried it never parts
It left me shattered keep me aghast
why is that so ugly about my past
I walk alone I never look back
all this time I keep saying that
I need not understand that
the darkness I still cant withstand
inside me forever it lasts
why I cant forget my past
The void which enkindle inside
the time that I left behind
the heart which u pierced
even though it cried loud
but you couldn't hear
my voice choked
I bend on my knees
I keep begging u
to stay with me please
all within I struggle so hard
Am I still the prisoner of my past? ? ! ! ! !
Life is short. It is not worth even thinking about people who fail us. Ive stood up a long time ago, even though people tried pulling me down. It was not easy but i walked on and felt happy and proud again. I think we need people like the character in this poem to make us strong! Nice realistic poem
The past is an ever following shadow, but only a prison if you make it so. Do not punish yourself for someone else's crime. Thanks for sharing your poem. Peace

Letting go when much has been invested in a supposedly trusting relationship after devastating disappointment is indeed not easy, But if one courageously accepts to take things in stride, then one can overlook the past and forge ahead without much qualms. A well articulated poem nicely penned with conviction. Thanks for sharing. Please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON.
