You...

You are always there
In my mind
Eternally gnawing the little sanity I posses

Every step
Every fall of my feet
Carry me further onto this mournful ground

Dreams betray me
Calling you back to me
Each night my prison

My shame and loss of you are all to real
Time has not faded you
Twenty years have only given you more strength

Seeing you in sleep
Each night
My friend
My shame...

My guilt

Author notes

Just had a bad dream about someone...tend to often...

    Surprised

    As I read this I was led into believing that you were writing of some past lover or even a past tormentor. The ending took me by surprise and yet it was refreshing. Guilt is perhaps the hardest thing to face, and you have done so and expreesed it in a very touching manner. Well Done!

    OMG

    One of the best poems I have ever read. It spoke to my heart and came close to shedding a tear. This poem sums my life up in a nutshell as I lost someone and to me this poem makes me think of my life without him. Please keep on writing, I love to read your poems!

    One thing I will never understand, but as much as I hate (most of) you all, I always feel sorry for those who have troubled dreams.

      I am not a huge fan of the human race myself, but I agree with you. Troubled dreams suck, and I dont wish them upon most....

    fantastic, you really grasped the emotion and internal torment one memory can wreak on a person, im going through a similar situation at the moment with a friend and its just not getting easier, some people you want soo badly to forget are the only ones who stick in your mind.
    first ive read of yours and i LOVED it! =)

      I know. It sucks how people can haunt you for years and years. This is a friend I lost that meant so much to me. I wish I could forget, but in trying to do that it only gets stronger.

        i totally get where your coming from, i possess a REALLY estranged, weird situation friendship, and im the one who always gets hurt, so right now im hoping to detach myself even though gettin off a relationship is like comin off a hard drug, the poison is in the rehab and in forgettin the relationship.

        you have a real talent for poetry

      He better feel that way after losing someone like you. Most people in this world are crap. You are a gem and he didnt deserve you.
