What haunts us most
Is what haunts us all.
The past alive in the present
events relived in the newest ways
Memories so reluctant
to fade, staying alive
day, by day, by day
in the heads of those
who lived when the past
lived in the present
Books, films, and songs
written and made so that
nothing shall ever fade
the past alive in the present.
Then one day
death came
and a movie was played
birthing the past alive in the present
