Go Away Memories

Just as fire in a candle burns away wax So do I wish those memories drift away Just as the ocean takes with it the sand So do I wish my pain be cast into the sea Never before have I felt so much agony Never again do I want it to happen The deed is done, the past has past And I will not let it get a hold of me Though it is not the end of my hurt I will not let it control me again Don't want to take it anymore Just go away and leave me be

This is really beautifully written. My favorite line is: "So do I wish my pain be cast into the sea."

This poem speaks to me as there are memories that I wish to kiss away...I love the last stanza and the regaining of yourself.
