Past

The past creeps up behind me.

A ghost.

Leaving no shadow in the mist of night.

I cannot run.

I cannot hide.

The darkness engulfs me.

Claws grab hold.

Talons penetrate.

Pain radiates through me to my core.

Torment.

I’m left paralyzed.

Blinded to the present.

Trembling.

yes pains and aches of the past ,always follow us you know some writers say ,that there is no such thing,as me in the past or i was like that few years that passed ,they say each minute is a different person not responsible for that action,one the moment a different person evolves new in our being and takes control and responsibility for the actions of that moment,how true is this and how much i really do not know but there is some truth in it ,becuase what we live and feel from day to day ,moment to moment certainly change our reactions and mood ,what did ten years ago certainly i am no more responsible cause i changed a lot since ,and since then i am never that person ten years ago ,never ,so why feel sad about things done in the past ,i am sure this much is true,just a thought i read about a lot ,i believe its true...

You most certainly showed just how damaging past heartaches and mistakes can sometimes effect our present life.

Kowel, you really described the inner pain of living in the past greatly.
The comparison of the tormenting memories with a ghost is good, but the picture is a little childish�

I love this dark piece on memories from the past as unwanted intruders in your present time. They do have a way of being as ghosts that catch us unawares...tormenting our thoughts. Very good piece! You did this well! Geez!
