About the Poem

Have you ever heard the phrase, "Wherever you go, there you are"? Well, this poem encompasses a slightly altered view, adding to that meaning, and arriving at, "Wherever I go, there *you* are". I think we all have "ghosts" of the past

Desolate Recollections

The pillow is cold,
my eyes filled with dew;
Alone with regrets
of me and of you.

The chair, the desk,
the picture that's framed
Leave me no relief;
They scream out your name.

The razor you left,
the shirt you forgot,
I cling close to me,
reminiscing the lot.

All the while, you've been here,
a ghost of my mind,
A phantom of love,
I can't leave behind.

The days shall pass,
the nights long and cold,
My mind in distress
of passions untold.

Away with your dreams,
soar straight to blue skies;
Ne'er shall you fall,
yet our love slowly dies.

I thought your poem was extremely realistic. I could feel the pain and this poem hit REALLY close to home. It put my feelings into the words I never seemed to find. It was an amazing piece of poetry. keep up the good work.
