You are the haunting voice,
The image reflected in my deep brown irises
As I stare into the dim-lit mirror
In the early morning.
My hair is a mess,
A testament to the nightmares
That plague me with your memory.
I know you daily, yet briefly
A vengeful spectre.
The brush of a hand.
A sideways glance into the shadows.
You are always here, but never there.
I see you while you stare at me with blind eyes.

But you leave me hanging, too.
Why don't you see me as I see you,

Whenever I hear love songs,
I think of you and those days we lost.
The days tossed like soiled tissues,
The days gone with the wind.
I realize, now, that it was too late
Even at the start.
We were too far apart.
It could never have worked,
You and I the same, but yet so different.
But it hurts so much more,
That the words could never form in my mouth,
Their flavor so
bitter,
Like the bile -filled tears
That
trickled
Out of the corners of my eyes
Into the
