I feel haunted.
She follows me,
Sometimes less intensely than others.
I can feel her,
Stuck in a loop in my head.
I'm afraid to turn around in case all of this thinking
Summons her.
She's not dead.
I think
The ghost that is haunting me is probably long gone
The last time I heard her speak
Nicely
To me
Was four years ago
And yet her words sometimes echo round my head
Even though I don't really remember what she
Sounded like
Most of the time I go weeks without seeing her
Then one walk to town
Playing some music
That I thought about her one time
Listening to
Bosh
She's round every corner
In every swish of a ponytail
How she was more confident in her sexuality than me
How she doesn't know I have a dog now
How she could pop up this second and fuck up my day
I'm paranoid
The whole way there and back
So, I no probs not to listen to that song again
Take out my headphones and face
The void which is my headspace
I will always carry this
But some days it feels heavier than others
We are all carrying things
At least I don't have to carry
The responsibility of keeping her alive anymore
I gave it back four years ago
And it's been getting lighter ever since.
Notes:
This poem is about her 1 again :( but It has a good end. I am enjoying dictate on word. It helps me be more effiecent. Also this is a pretty good poem. Written a while ago but it makes u happy/sad at the end. Hope ur having a good week.
