Leech Poem, by Moonflower15, at My poetic side

I saw your face quite unexpectedly,

The aftermath has me reeling,

I try to remember how to breathe,

Memories spinning in my mind,

Trapped in a whirl wind of emotion,

I see the laughs, I feel the joy,

I see the fights and feel the agony,

I remember the love, the warmth,

I recall the devastating loneliness,

I hear the screams, I taste salty tears,

Though I walked away, the bond in my heart did not sever,

Though I cut the toxicity of you out of my life, I feel the poison linger,

I see you drowning in your self-made desolation,

I desire to save you…

Though the guilt of your demise weighs upon my soul,

I cannot be your liberator,

I cannot be your crutch,

You are the leech that drinks my life’s blood,

And now I leave you to die in the pit of misery,

You have created by alienating me

Great poem. I can really feel the pain, the joy of freedom, the guilt, the anger at the situation. So many emotions went into this one, and they come across beautifully. Nice piece. Thank you for sharing it with us.
