Haunting me

I left my home
to get away from you
so why wont you let me be
why must you haunt my every dream
why must every thought turn to you
why does it hurt so much
why do I cry when I'm alone at night
why can't my soul find peace
I didn't realize that part of me
would always belong to part of you
I didn't know that I'd be haunted
by the night I walked you home
the day I fell in love with you
I didn't know I'd want
my life back from just a year ago.
I didn't realize the feelings
I felt for her
were just lies lingering in my mind
I thought I'd buried them
but all I did was crush our love
I drank to forget
and I forgot how to love
and now I'm haunted
by the taste of you
and by the taste of that drink
that drowned my soul....

    Nice

    The emotion in this kinda packs a punch. I can't really say I know what it's like to be haunted by someone, I blocked my ex out with force of mind, even though he sat in front of me after the breakup.

    One word of advice... lay off the liquor. I, too, feel tempted, but I find that numbing the senses just makes it worse when the buzz wears off. Just my personal opinion.

    Unless feeling the pain afterwards is why you drink. I've been there, as well. Sometimes the pain is all that holds you down. I know that feeling well.

    Again, a lot of emotion. I'm sorry this happened to you, but one good thing about it was that it provided the fodder for this piece to be written. It's a piece you should be proud of.

      I stopped drinking before I had left...the problem was it had become an addiction and it wasn't until I was away from easy access to it, that I realized it. but like you said it is pathetic I didn't have the strength or maturity to deal with what happened.
