You went away a long time ago,
set me adrift in an emotional sea.
I couldn’t find someone new,
‘cause I was chained to a memory of you.
Everywhere, little things I saw,
reminded me of your memory.
Nothing that I did would pull me free;
everything just spoke your name to me.
Now I cannot go anywhere,
as always there is something there.
To remind me of the fun we used to have,
in that so long ago.
I tried to break the chain,
but love is too strong there.
Therefore, I’ll just go on forever,
chained to a memory of you.

David, this is a gentle and heartfelt poem how to treasure what is true but move on?
I love this poem, it speaks of love in the highest form. And what a powerful tool the memory is to assist in keeping love alive. A wonderful poem. I enjoyed it. HG: -) xx
