Broken Memory

by Jacob   Aug 3, 2006


Past the road to your house
That you never called home
Where they turned out your lights
They said you'll never know

The echoes of your past
Still haunt your dreams
Patiently tearing you apart
Or that's how it seems

They still mention your name
And how you're the one to blame
It's their own little game
The only way they can stay sane

They ask where you went wrong
Like you ever had it right
Like you ever had a clue
Like they've gone through this too

You never did notice
That you still hide away
The anguish of people
Who shoved you away

And you were never quite right
After they pumped out your guts
And filled you full of that good stuff
And they kept you far from sight

They said it was for your own good
That they really understood
That they'd do all they could

But in the end
It wasn't enough
It was all just a bluff
Not a way to mend

    Parts of this I really enjoyed, such as the first stanza. Felt like a song for some reason. I didn't like the ending. It wasn't written badly, it's just a bit cliched.
    Decent poem though

    Wow what an ending. In the third stanza "Your" should be "you're", I'm being picky. This is really good. Keep it up.
