Your ghosts came to visit me today
The sweet words
The ****** encounters
The romance
Her

I tried to turn them away
The images
The pain
The betrayal
The darkness

But my demons welcomed them
They sat and talked a while
Reminiscing
Piercing conversations
Burrowing deeper
Into my subconscious

Taking root
In the darkest crevices
Of my wounded soul
Playing tricks
Causing doubt

Are you lying to me
Am I lying to myself
Can I recover enough
To love you
To leave you

Your ghosts stopped by today
I hope they don't stay long.
