a song i never meant to sing


(nothing makes me question the meaning of life more than meeting a past love)

 

their ghosts all haunt this afterlife

in tombstone love no longer ripe

pictures packed into a frame

different faces all the same

 

a bed to spoon feed all my lies

with words i always made them sigh

disarm with charm until they trust

convincing as i slake my lust

 

yet i believed as i deceived

that they were all i’d ever need

each grave marker contains a name

i view them all amid my blame

 

faces memorized and embossed

within a heart that’s tempest tossed

a happiness that calmed the sea

but one of us would always leave

 

but as i said their ghosts remain

i don’t question was it in vain

just remember all the insteads

of feelings felt when not in bed

 

yet here i am all without them

with all their ghosts that haunt me still

wishing we could begin again

but knowing that we never will

 

***
