Spritual Affections

By walkersway

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

How do I say goodbye when I know you‘ve walked away? Shall I burn your picture And erase your words? If I could scratch out the thoughts that you laid upon me, I would. But they anchor me down. You taught me about self love and self respect. Your patience and guidance astounded me And I stood transfixed like a child. God! Give me the strength to forget you Though I am so empty without the definition of you and us. And all I can think is that I failed because I didn’t try hard enough And all I am consoled with is that we weren’t right for each other. But that is pitiful comfort When you are in love with a ghost.Sometimes finding closure is the hardest thing to do. Written April 9th, 2002 © on Apr 09 2002 04:29 AM PST   0 • 8
