Haunting

Haunting

A Poem by Somebrownnerd
"

An obsession.

"

The whimper of your keys prescribes a civil disobedience.

Tranquil chaos fills my heart and mind, brimming recesses with mumbles of hubris,

and the pining of a forgetful friend.

 

Olivia, the stain does not simply scrub away, as your keys continue to play.

Rather, the edges sharpen and cut away; the false truths, the quietus of pain.

Perhaps it’s necessary to mute our fledgling memories, and abort a mission of faith; of...

 

Love was never a goal, but a harmonious consequence, plucked from a macabre rhythm.

As you continue to write your future , your own personal symphony,

Remember I am the quiet critic silently applauding your beauty of energy.

A shadow of a false hope, a remembrance of lost time.

 

Olivia, this is for you; I tried.
