Plagued

February 20th, 2019

The memories replay
I wish I could forget
Taking the wrong path
Is something I’ll always regret
You were only a ghost
That left me haunted
With dreams of things
That I never wanted
I still have flashbacks
Like PTSD
I wish I could forget
These memories
Though time goes on
The wounds don’t heal
If it was that easy to disappear
How do I know that you were real

Acquaintance

December 17th, 2018

So many people to meet everyday
That many people could never stay
So many memories that I replay
In red plaid I ran away
So many people left to meet
But I have grown so obsolete
In my head it just repeats
I’ve been carried away by my feet
So many strangers that I see
So much to say in poetry
I’ll let them know this side of me
Because in my words I’ll be set free
