Ghost of Broken Love

I'm haunted by your memory A ghost of things long passed Trapped inside my hollow dreams A love that didn't last A spirit that taunts my very being It will not set me free Bound by the chains of my regrets Its echo haunting me I carry around this broken heart My reward for misplaced trust I chose to walk the path of love But you, the path of lust The spectre of your lying eyes Follow where ever I go Broken promises upon your lips Piercing my very soul Still haunted by your memory No peace for me to find Tormented by what could have been This ghost you left behind

A very touching, heartfelt poem, Larry. Those who hurt us often don't even realize that the pain lingers with their "ghosts." Excellent poem! Love, Carolyn
