Sometimes Haunted

All those places
That we used to haunt
Endless minutes
Spent in boredom and sometimes
Splendor

Those halcyon days
Mostly forgotten

Though I still lay awake nights
Visited by ghosts
Of conversations
And your lips
Haunted by those almost kisses
And sometimes
Your laugh

The crescent of the moon
And how it tricked my eyes
When dusk turned to dawn
And we said our goodbyes

I am haunted by all the words
We never said and sometimes
I can even
Feel your ghost beside me
And I can’t say it surprises me
How you’ve stayed
Right here
Inside me

I look for answers in dreams
On the oceans floor
And at your grave
How do I get back
To those halcyon days
