This poem is a fierce, defiant anthem about reclaiming personal freedom after betrayal and abandonment. Stripping away the illusions of a broken relationship, the song captures the raw joy of true emotional detachment and independence. It is a powerful statement of moving on from the wreckage with absolute strength, sending a clear message to the past: the door is now closed.
Ghost Of Memory Past
The path ahead has lost its veneer
My old self died when you sought greener grass
The truth of your betrayal is now clear
The illusion has broken through its glass
So do not linger like a phantom here,
No use tracking what is lost to the past
The door’s locked to you who I once held dear,
Now severed are the chains that held me fast.
The dream was crushed the day you left that year,
No anchor holding down a broken mast.
Just leave me be as boundaries are clear,
I am now free from shadows that you cast.
Your silent lurking cannot draw me near,
Quit stalking me and leave me in the past
I will not waste another bitter tear,
The joy of true detachment comes at last.
Your chapter ended when you changed your sphere,
You chose another bond o’er me at last.
You made your choice, now live with it, you hear!
Stop searching through a world that you have passed.
The path ahead is a fresh new frontier,
The heavy weight of you is gone at last.
I breathe air of freedom without you near,
Free from the ghost of my memory past.
