nostalgia
























I long to be able to listen
to songs i used to love
without apparitions of moments
tainted by the intensity
of your memory


oh! to be cured of you
and the light of your extremes


where no fragrance is off limits-
where pleasant scents
are not betrayals
but smiles waiting to blossom
no nostalgia to wrestle with,
no deep inhaling and closing of the eyes
revealing confusing hopes of reliving
refusing, inviting


refusing
inviting


oh! to be cured of you
and the light of your extremes


where the pleasant past is not a myth
where senses are not stolen
traded to a bitter future void of warm sensation
void of truth, sound and hue
void of you.



to be full of hope once more
to live, breathe, taste and feel
the little remaining of my fleeting youth
to once again be drunk with life
and everything I once held true



oh! to be cured of you
and the light of your extremes.

  1. I feel the yearning to forget reading this. It's beautiful and sad.

    Nothing's really destroyed or made rid of until it's replaced with something else. That's the funny thing about matter. But maybe we just don't know enough about anti-matter yet to say for sure...and I'm no physicist. And I can understand how it can feel like there's a void. But one day you'll start looking elsewhere. There will be a new wind in your sails. :)
