reason to remember
by Linda M. Crate
you made me invisible
as a ghost,
but if you don't expect me
to haunt you
like it's all hallow's eve
you're obviously on something;
because for far too long
you've been hunting me—
it is my turn to shoot the arrows,
my turn to shatter you;
to feed off your misery and your pain
until you feel as if there is nothing
left in this world for you—
i drowned in your lust
giving you a love you would never
reciprocate,
you hid behind your lies and your insincerity
left broken promises as your bread crumbs
not even the birds devoured those;
your voice still whispers to me in my most
lonely of moments but i know you're long since
forgotten me—
i will come back on dark wings of nightmares
give you a reason to remember.
