Haunted Vows

I close my eyes and there you are.

Your beautiful blue eyes haunting me.

Ripping a fresh wound in my heart's scar.

You're in my dreams

You're in my memories.

You're everywhere it seems.

You come along uninvited for the ride.

You invade my every thought 

You are everywhere except by my side.

Why do you haunt me still?

Why does my heart still call your name?

I can't let go,I never will.

We made promises never to be broken

Vows to love honor and cherish one another.

You vowed to love me until life's end

We had the better, but the worse came sooner than we thought

Our vows now just broken promises tossed in the wind.

I don't want to let you go, but you're gone

I'll love you even with my last dying breath.

I know it's wrong.

But when I close my eyes there you are.

Your beautiful blue eyes haunt me dreams.

Your hateful words creating a new scar. 

I'm haunted by the wedding vows that you broke.

The crumbled memories of our love.

It was destoyed by the lies you spoke.

 

 

 

 

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

For Bill

Love does not play by other people's rules

Sometimes, not even your own. A creation that takes on a life of it's own, once we give it the spirit of life. In essence, it is like a child, in that even when gone astray, an open heart will always care. I think, these sentiments, as best I can express them right now, you portray both without restraint and with poetic beauty. You do not betray, for a moment, the pureness of love despite devastated commitment.

 

Wishing you all the best.
