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 ..

Memories that prick the soul of things promoting guilt done and comfort felt. all to be lost in forgetfulness. Lovely

Good write N.
That's what I'm about to do with KP - the last line of your poem. lol.
if you are not careful, she'll have your pelt for purse or summat
Or she will turn me into a wig - or rug, as some wigs are called!
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.
sound advice, I seriously hope not but thanks anyway & regardless .. Neville
Probably for the best............................
imagine so ..
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.
