Haunted Memories

Haunted Memories


Decisions overhead

Your memories underfoot

Squishing them

Squashing them to oblivion

Sticking to the bottom of my shoe

They crawl back into my head

Resurfacing in my dreams

Like a disease of the soul no medicine will rid me of your cognizance

These eyes have not rested on your smooth face in over two years yet my minds eye revisits you every night

I need a lobotomy to get you out of me

I want what is mine

you stole my heart

now my chest aches in emptiness

if only I could forget

Take down the neon no vacancy sign that hangs from my pneuma

Allow someone else to fill me up

Instead I am haunted by the ghost of your memories

It walks the narrow passage between mind, body, and soul nightly

O' why does my mind spite me?

I pound out the words to let you go

An echo sends them back

A beacon of hope gleams in the near future

The hope of my demise or the birth of new memories void of your existence

Memories strong enough to drive you from my unconscious

Until one of these come to pass I will be subject to your constant unwelcome sojourn to my subconscious

Please feel free to leave at your convenience and my delight

I would truly enjoy one lonely night
