Haunted...

9/7/13

That is how it is written

And that is exactly how it haunts me

It sometimes takes a life of its own

And leaves me breathless

Because it is not our date

It is not our anniversary

So what is he flaunting for the world to see

Why does he want to embarrass me

What date is more important then ours

I guess I will never know but that date

This date will always haunt me

In the latest of the hours

We never truly forget do we? Can almost remember that exact moment down to the very second when the pain was felt. As if we don't want to forget. As if that moment of despair becomes something of a building block, something of a constant reminder of 'once upon a time' and a devastatingly lost happily ever after. The line, "What date is more important than ours", had truly spoke to me... As this is it. What date is more important? No other... Entirely adore this piece, XO. It had made me a tad angry and a tad lonely and a tad empowered and a tad heartbroken. Such wondrous emotions felt in something so brief, and yet, powerfully delivered. Brilliant! Here's to eventually forgetting.

The strong stench of torment! Anniversaries however nice the sentiment can be haunting and torturous. Nicely done. The bold font is a little lost on me though I can be rather thick at times. R

I suppose if someones flaunting the date. He's left with someone else. Or worse, he's gay.

Well expressed, mom always told us, when a relationship is dead, bury it. Perhaps you haven't done that yet. Valentine

The vibe that I get from this is the day you two split up. Or if I really wanted to get into it then it could be the day you found out the truth about something they had been hiding. It takes your mind to different places and I like that a lot.

Thank you so much, that's what I was aiming towards. I like the fact that you took the time to read and understand and deepen the purpose of the passage.

I like the sentiment, of anniversaries as forms of ghosts and torture.

And I can feel the undercurrent of vulnerability, anger and sadness.

I just don't get the bold words part. Maybe I'm just being dense.

But the torment does come through regardless

The bold was just something I felt was needed, I was waiting for someone to question it. Thank you so much
