She text at 4 a.m. A long forgotten lover, sending scrambled messages from beneath. She is probably drunk, yet still, my heart is fraught with worry and uncertainty. I wish I could transmute my feelings, eradicate her shadows, forget she existed at all. Sadly I can’t. Her ghost clings to me like a second skin rising, her reflection only serves to color and confuse me. Why can’t I forget? Why is she still a part of me? Nagging unanswered questions walking in the deep. Yes, she is a haunted memory, slowly draining me.
