Time Warp

 The scars left by those yesterdays
 Leave her trapped in the past
 With a never ending pain
 As melancholy shadows are cast

 Her heart finds it hard to dance
 To the beat of love
 Memories leave her in confusion
 As she searches for elusive answers from skies above

 She seeks freedom from her illusions
 But she is trapped in a time warp
 where yesterdays always return
 and her tears never see to learn

Some circumstances are out of a person's control and not unless someone walks through it can they understand the trap. Many people have this happen and either share what they are going through or not. Well written :)

' Scars' leave many ' trapped in the past. ' It's difficult moving forward when the hurt remains. Your thoughts caress gently around me and my heart. This is tender and emotional, all at the same time. Hugs, Brandy

Interesting poem. It has a sci-fi quality that makes me wonder if our solar system is in a time warp.. I hope not. Thank you for this poem.

This is one I could relate to if I were a very emotional person. Well done with this poetry.

So reflective of life, Joseph--your poem speaks to times bygone, yet still alive and haunting: --The scars left by those yesterdays Leave her trapped in the past With a never ending pain--aptly emotive!

Very poignant write Joseph. Yes it seems many get trapped in that time warp and don't know how to get our. I feel the sentiment you have expressed in your very emotive poem. Maria PS A Fave for me.

This is a very heartfelt and meaningful poem, dear Joseph. Sometimes, wounds bleed over time intervals and our souls orbit in the same painful loop.. I can feel the emotions that you've so intricately carved here, with wonderful wordplay, especially "Her heart finds it hard to dance To the beat of love", "As she searches for elusive answers from skies above" Sigh.. finally, we need learn how to make peace with those unanswered questions, for the sake of one's own serenity.. Beautifully written.
