Haunting Memories

when the relationship is physically over but not emotionally over

The sun sets, ending the day and the night falls

Longing to be with you, my mind silently calls

Time passes slowly and my heart will not heal

Loneliness and sorrow are difficult to conceal

Haunting memories of you encase me with agitation

Now destined with a life of overwhelming desolation

Life is a long time. In my own life I have loved so many, many people and I've had more than my share of heartbreak. My advice is don't let disappointment break you. Keep trying, keep loving, keep doing the "right" thing when you know what it is. But I'd never want someone with me that did not want to be there. That isn't love but obsession and possession. And sometimes we have to let go of old memories to make new ones.

I appreciate you reading and commenting. This was written at one of the rare times I have a "pity party". I try to be an optimist without dwelling on the past. Occasionally my mind drifts back though. I analyze events and vow to make better decisions.
Thank you taking your time to share your thoughts.

I like this. It hits real. Short but powerful.

sometimes even when time passes slowly, it makes your desolation feel forever long and painful…. but there is no point in staying with someone who estranged you ; especially if memories haunt you… thr to let them go… or you may not see the light,…..
warmly, B

I liked the flow to this! I also really liked how you described memories bringing a sense of agitation. The overwhelming desolation was well put, too. To love is to accept the possibility of mourning a person, living or dead. I see you know that all too well.

Like the saying "everyone hurts sometimes". I would much prefer losing a limb than to have those overwhelming feelings again.
