You went away a long time ago, <br />set me adrift in an emotional sea. <br />I couldn’t find someone new, <br />‘cause I was chained to a memory of you. <br /> <br />Everywhere, little things I saw, <br />reminded me of your memory. <br />Nothing that I did would pull me free; <br />everything just spoke your name to me. <br /> <br />Now I cannot go anywhere, <br />as always there is something there. <br />To remind me of the fun we used to have, <br />in that so long ago. <br /> <br />I tried to break the chain, <br />but love is too strong there. <br />Therefore, I’ll just go on forever, <br />chained to a memory of you. <br /> <br /> <br />(13 June 2007)<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/chained-to-a-memory/
