Ghost Of Yester-Years Poem by Connie Smith aka stargazer

By: Connie R. Smith

I can't seem to escape
from the memories
that linger within my mind

~*~

No matter how I try
to break free -
There's just no leaving
the past behind.

~*~

A day never passes
without thinkng of you
and the love we once shared.

~*~

How I miss all of the
thing's we used to do.
To be without you
seems so unfair...

~*~

How I wish I could turn
back the hands of time
For there is so much
I would say.

~*~

Why was I not given the
chance to say 'goodbye'
on that dreadful night
when you suddenly passed away?

~*~

Now my world is filled
with sorrow and tears.
My heart is shattered
consummed with such grief.

~*~

Excruciating pain gnawing
deep inside - which makes
it so difficult to breathe.

~*~

Seems that I'm forever
shackled to -
The Ghost Of Yester-Years.
For I don't have the strengh
to set myself free...
