About to Be Forgot

Neville

About to Be Forgot

 

I swear that last night

by candlelight

I assume the same one

that you claim

to burn brightly each

night just for me ..

I faced the future alone

and was blinded

by the shame of your

past and our

tainted, shared history ..

But don’t fret none,

it’s all gone dark again ..

And I am about

to forget you completely ..

          Some things are best forgotten, particularly when they end really badly. It appears here that the ghosts are out playing on the mind.

          tainted, shared history - ouch
          I think I would be inclined to burn some sage.

          I can’t help thinking that these memories will cross pathways again. A great write Neville.Happy Thursday.

              Some things are best left unlit, hidden in the shadows, so to speak. However, they can rear their ugly faces into our minds when we least expect it. Depending on their impact on us they may never be forgotten completely.
              Your poem says all these things in a more poetic way. And the use of candlelight is a powerful symbolism for a separated relationship. - Phil A.
