memories

you haunt me;

taunt me

mock me

and bury me deep 

within the depths of

despair

you overpower the 

joy and laughter

others created

and you loom over me

with a oh so terrifying

and lingering smirk

but i smile

because who would ever believe

something like you

would ever happen to me

The last stanza makes this poem very haunting! I'd be interested to see what this is actually about - but sometimes a writer never tells :) The feeling of this poem is great!
