Hard

How hard is it to move on
When you know it is not worth it

No matter what you do
Those shadows will haunt you

They'll try to keep you here
But what is it to them?

You won't even remember them

Well done, I enjoyed this short impact poem. I relate to it in a way you might not have imagined. I see the internet here, of formed relationships that crack and breach that cannot be mended.

I can see about the realisation that we must reluctantly discard a relationship because of the pain of loving yet hating their behaviour, habits, talk, values, principles and yet you are so fond of them.

Sad, to move and yet we do, and as you finally say in a year they are but a distant fog in the back of your mind and that fondness that once was ours has died. You no more wish to carouse with them in raucous rooms, you no long wish to whisper sweet intimacies or talk of grand schemes it is dead and they though are alive are also dead to you.

Your words are true. Good to leave the naysayer behind and forget them ASAP. Strong ending to the excellent poetry.

:(. You got A point. It's clearly written . Eff those shadows!!! Ha ha I like it... I'm thinking you plan on extending this one ? Or no not really? Either way it's great. Short. Simple, a little haunting actually. I love it. :)

It takes me back to my suicidal days, when I knew there was no purpose in attempting to move on. Indeed, hard things will never leave your side.

Enjoyed.

Your penning is you.

Well done.

A memory can be life handcuffs - never really releasing us, well done, good read.
