As my image fades <br />You love my voice <br />you hate my words <br />you want me to help <br />rid you of me <br /> <br />As my image fades <br />i am the ghost <br />and you the haunted <br />how can i free you <br />from your own past <br /> <br />As my image fades <br />i can't pry your fingers <br />from my memory <br />or force your soul <br />to untie me <br /> <br />As my image fades <br />i can't erase my face <br />from your eyes <br />or ask your nose <br />to give up my scent <br /> <br />As my image fades <br />i can only turn away <br />add no more fuel <br />to your fire. <br />i can only back out <br />and hope that <br /> <br />as my image fades <br />so does the pain.<br /><br />shannon wright<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/as-my-image-fades/
