Ghost of Broken Love

I'm haunted by your memory

A ghost of things long passed

Trapped inside my hollow dreams

A love that didn't last

A spirit that taunts my very being

It will not set me free

Bound by the chains of my regrets

Its echo haunting me

I carry around this broken heart

My reward for misplaced trust

I chose to walk the path of love

But you, the path of lust

The spectre of your lying eyes

Follow where ever I go

Broken promises upon your lips

Piercing my very soul

Still haunted by your memory

No peace for me to find

Tormented by what could have been

This ghost you left behind

i can relate to all of these feelings, very intense yet smoothly expressed. though; i should only evaluate based on language and the beauty of this poetry; i am compelled to say that rejection is our greatest protection....i have found that this chosen perception to see these situations as blessings making their way to me. i decide to let go of the realized betrayal, ask myself to become better not bitter and keep alive the "good" person this person helped ignite once...for what i really fell in love with; was probably not them...but what they helped draw out in me.

Yes, sometimes a certain memory haunts us for a life time, and as it hurts, we never let go of it, great job, I enjoyed reading it :)

Wow, this was really powerful. I especially loved the line "The spectre of your lying eyes..." such great use of language there. Thanks for sharing this.
