Strange How You Haunt Me
by Thomas K. HuntYou're not whole, you're incomplete
There are pieces of you with me when I sleep
It has to be, there can be no other way
You left me long ago but you're here to stay
Strange how you haunt me
You're a vision in my mind
A bittersweet presence that's lingered behind
Sad wasted moments
Time traveling in the wind
The loss of a lifetime never to be found again
Endless images randomly in a row
appear in no particular order they just come and go
I close my eyes and try to remember what was real
With every haunt you make me feel how I used to feel
So many nights and far too many years
you've been a vision in the night that just disappears
Artificial hopes from teasing glances
You're a ghostly stalker from failed chances
I've heard it said it gets better in time
Yet my heart's still broken as you haunt my mind
Strange how you haunt me
I can't leave you behind
Your image lingers nightly in my mind
Clinging to me until the end of my time

| Posted by Glenn Currier on 02/25/19 at 02:41 PM Thomas, what a beautiful poem that drapes the sadness of loss over me as I read it. Grief is a long and arduous process but your poem strikes such a chord in the griever (and hopefully in the writer) that it might help one travel that dark road. I have people close to me who deserve this poem and will receive it. Thanks for this precious gift. |
