This poem is a one-shot rewrite of a poem I had written for my creative writing class. It's based off a prompt asking me to write a poem from an antagonist's point of view, in an attempt to help the reader feel sympathy for him/her. I'm not sure if I'll continue to re write this piece in different ways, but if I do each rewrite will be a new part. The First part is the original, the second is the rewrite.

Elliot's partner was his whole world, but after Allan's death, his ghost haunts Elliot's dreams. Everyone tells Elliot to move on, but he isn't sure he can. ***** It's been a year since the love of Elliot's life, Allan, passed away. Everyone thinks he should have recovered after that much time, but Allan still haunts Elliot every night. He struggles to maintain relationships with his family, and despite a coworkers interest he can't summon up the courage to date. Elliot is living for the past, because to live for the present means he'll have to live with a hole in his heart. But the question Elliot has to face chases him through his monotonous days: is mourning Allan with everything he has truly living? [[word count: 40,000-50,000 words]]
