Haunted Memory

Forever I am haunted by your memory -
Your image, burned in my mind;
To do again, what different I would do -
Perhaps, then, life would be more kind.

I hear your words, even still -
I know you are still here with me;
It matters not, you understand now -
For, in my mind, I still see.

My heart could set aflame wood -
So fiery, it is, with its wrath;
Nevermind what you continue to tell -
Fate set you across my path.

My heart will never be the same -
Forever changed, I live to tell;
Wrapped in the haunting of you -
Tormented by my own, private hell.
