Haunted Memories

Haunted

Emptied shell of me

Thoughts of our time as “We”

Not hearing my own, how unfortunate 

For hers, is all I see 

Within this hollow consciousness

I feel more grief, alone 

Each room, the memories hold

From a time you were held within my arms

Hearts sheltered from the cold

But now grasping at memories

Hearing that laugh, that smile, her heart 

Consistent reminder  that we are so far apart

For her heart is disconnected

Mind compresses memories, 

of the true personality locked inside

  She’s still there, but her mind is telling “Lies”

Speaking to her hollowed shell, she speaks

But never makes a sound

This mind just needs to reconcile what her heart already found.

Holding her memories for safe keeping in my haunted soul

At least I have her here

In my mind alone 

All that is able to be grasped is 

My twin flame will come and find me 

Her true self will unfold

For her name this heart still holds

Her memories will forever haunt me. 

Until she comes back home.
