Haunted By Your Memory

By Syed Mohammad Ismail Quli

The memories of you, like ghosts they linger,

Haunting me with a love that was once a trigger,

To a time when we were inseparable,

But now we're just strangers so irrefutable.

The love we had was once a flame so bright,

But now it's just a flicker in the night,

The memories we shared, now a blight,

As I struggle to move on with all my might.

The struggle of moving on is so real,

The memories of you, like a heavy steal,

Weaving in and out, a pain I can't conceal,

As I try to find a love that's new and ideal.

But the memories of you, they hold me back,

A love so strong, it's now a shadowy track,

That I try to shake, but it's now an attack,

As I try to move on from this love so slack.

The struggle of moving on, a heavy weight,

The memories of you, an unrelenting fate,

As I try to find a love that's now great,

And leave behind this love that's so innate.

But even though I try to move on with ease,

The memories of you, like a gentle breeze,

Still linger in my heart and soul with such unease,

A reminder of a love that once used to please.

So here I am, with a heart that's torn,

Trying to move on from love that's now forlorn,

As I try to find a love that's now reborn,

And leave behind the memories of you that once adorned.
