Her Beauty Still Haunts

Her beauty still haunts
My soul, senses and mind
Like some old schoolyard taunts
Thought long ago left behind

Her ways still warm
The lovelorn language of a broken heart,
Through every sunshine and every storm
Even though our ways did long ago part

Her beauty still haunts
My soul, senses and mind
Even though to another she now flaunts
What I am never again to find

NIce work. you can feel the the bitterness and love in this. I stumble a bit on the last line. It is just the wording for me and probably just me. nice work

I think everyone here has hit the nail on the head - this is different, and better. Great poem, from the heart I presume.

Your use of the word "flaunts" in the next to last line Made me feel that this woman was not just a real beauty, but a real bitch as well. Maybe it just reminded me of a bit of my own past.
