Haunted

You didn’t notice me die

You held me up

You patted your back

You drowned in sorrow

And let the snow fall

But you didn’t notice me lifeless

You didn’t notice I was broken

I spiraled

Into a demented reality

I slept away my desire

I hid my pain in laughter

I let the night embrace me as her own

I reached out

But never found you

Ghostly words

Invisible promises

They took your place

How do you repair that?

How do you move forward

When all you see is dirt

From the pit you’ve been tossed into?

How do you climb to the top

With no tools to build it

How do you find the light

When you don’t even realize you can’t see

How do I piece together

What you ripped apart

Before I knew what I looked like

Before I knew who I was

When all I’ve known

Is what I see

In the shards of mirror on the floor

Your words still haunt me

Your promises still linger

I’m ready to leave

The empty house

You never built
