the haunting

your rose garden adolescence
of who you used to be.
yesterday becomes your present and
it seems to haunt you like
soul starved ghosts.
the hardest part about
the revealing of the haunting is
the tainted look on your soft face.
you remember all the ghosts
that will never leave you alone.
my love, we will make brand new memories
to replace the old.
lock them away.
don't let the haunting consume you.
