H(A)UNTED

Fading..
I am hunted
The ethereal swirls round me..
A scirocco of not all warm memories
I am haunted...
By dreams I've never been
The girl reaches inside me..
Takes me..
Where I no longer live
Just to remind..
Why she sings like
A melancholy sighing in the wind..
She is a whispering howl trying so hard to touch me
I can't hear..
So now I feel the soft crush..
Of an embrace long faded into shadows.
And I am haunted..
I see my hand reach
To touch a back now hunched against my thoughts..
Fading..
Into..
A tear slowly painting a trail..
