Possessed

I see a mysterious, distant, unknown land.

I see myself standing motionless;
I see you running away.

I see myself howling aloud;
I see your ears not listening,

I see myself there eternally;
I see you there for a day.

I see myself wanting to get away;
I see a memory of you that is not letting me.

I see us-me holding hands with a memory of you,
walking together, taking chances.

I see myself not being able to take any chance,
I see myself not possessing the memory no more.

I see the memory-possessing me entirely.

the b*****d is blessed! a wonderful write incorporating a steady and subtle flow of emotions..its not one of those explosions of anger and rage..this is pretty subtle...holding on to the moemories and hope(maybe a little bit of it)... not only you have narrated you side of the story...the other side of the hedge seems to be pretty clearly visible...

this is a very empowering poem.
i love the first and last lines;
"I see a mysterious, distant, unknown land.'
&
"I see the memory-possessing me entirely."

(Another one for the b*****d...)--hope the B*****d enjoyed ;)

Amazing poem!!!

A great poem full of contradictions and contrasts, Thanks to the "you" character in the poem.. Well written, strong words but simple tone...Love your author's note though

Yes those old desires don't want to leave us. I like the gentle and kind emotions in your words. Ain't easy to forget. Take time and a replacement. A outstanding poem. Thank you.
