Haunted

A poem about loss

By Roxy WolfPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

There are moments that I still see your face

they are fleeting

it’s like I’m looking into a mirror

but instead of my reflection I see a fragment of you

I find myself reaching out to you more often than not

to have you disappear in a ripple effect

ripped from my world once more

Sometimes I feel as though I have already died

and I’m stuck in a body looking through someone else’s eyes.

I feel haunted

my mind is an abandoned house full of ghosts

they lightly tread through my memories

their voices sound the same as they’d always been

they watch the memories of themselves through my eyes

We’re so close and yet so far away.

There are moments that I still see your face

they are fleeting

fragments of you ripple into my reality and then cease to exist.
