Last Night Poem by Marie Causey

Last night as I lay thinking, you sneaked into my head
I tried to turn you off from thoughts, but you stayed instead
you made me remember valentines nights from long ago
Me and you out for the night, kissing dancing slow

I remembered how you said you loved me, and I you
Then came the laughter and the places that we knew
making love was easy that was before the war
then out came a side to you i wish I had not seen before

My mother and my family told me at the start you was bad
I closed my ears to what they said, I wish I never had
You hit me, You hurt me, You cheated on me then went away
I really must have been crazy back then wanting you to stay

That was many years ago well before I heard you had died
I push all thought about you far away, and I Cried and cried
Why tonight are you Haunting me playing again with my head
I thought I had thrown away all thoughts, after all your dead

Like a ghost tonight you come to me, Hurting like you did
I want you now to go away, i want to put on you a lid
Let me heal and carry on, I was doing So Well
You cant stop this Hurting me, Go back, You belong in HELL
