One step pushed back

Brynlee

It's that shadow that moves as it pleases

lingering even on the darkest of days

That piece of hair that just won't tame down

no matter how much gel you use

Its like an itch to deep to relieve 

Whose to say it's not karma 

Karma for every bad thing I've done in my lifetime

but it seems no matter how much I try  

It pushes me away, that rip tide I can't swim out of

My mind wanders back to it 

The moon cries for me tonight 

As my blood grows colder, 

I seem to think about you again

  • Comment from author about the poem: Sometimes you just can't get those things that poke and prod out of your head. It sticks and doesn't unstick. It sits in the back of your head and when you see that one thing or smell that one smell it remakes its appearance. Sometimes that feeling is a good thing and you wish to never forget it, but when you want it to walk out the door it seems to never want to leave.

    Very relatable write we all have those lurking in our mind, just needs the slightest prod and it all comes rushing back, nicely expressed and written

    Lingering thoughts in this poem that irritate and won't diminish. The thoughts of another that one can not forget. Nicely penned
